New Delhi: MS Dhoni’s performance for Chennai Super Kings against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday was underwhelming. Batting seventh, he briefly impressed before being dismissed by Sandeep Sharma, caught by Shimron Hetmyer. Dhoni’s departure silenced the Guwahati crowd, despite it being the Royals’ home ground, dashing hopes of a Dhoni-led victory. Hetmyer’s impressive catch prevented a successful Chennai chase.
MS Dhoni contributed 16 runs from 10 deliveries before being dismissed attempting a yorker bowled by Sandeep. His innings was crucial for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who needed 20 runs from the final over with Dhoni and Jadeja at the wicket. Ultimately, CSK lost the match by six runs.
Shimron Hetmeyer took a brilliant catch in the final over to dismiss MS Dhoni and potentially save the match for Rajasthan !!

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have suffered back-to-back losses, following defeats against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals. This comes after a winning start to their campaign.
MS Dhoni’s batting position in the IPL has been a topic of discussion, with him frequently batting lower down the order (positions 7, 8, or 9). Chennai’s coach, Stephen Fleming, attributed this to Dhoni’s reduced mobility due to knee issues, limiting his ability to bat for extended periods as he once did.
