CSK vs DC: 20 runs off nine balls were scored by MS Dhoni during his explosive cameo.
On May 10 against Delhi Capitals at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, MS Dhoni once more displayed his legendary form, scoring 20 runs off just nine deliveries. In the 19th over of the innings, the CSK captain tore Khaleel Ahmed apart and pummelled him for 19 runs.
Dhoni smashed two sixes and a four against the left-arm seamer during the action-packed over, earning praise from his wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva who was watching from the stands. ‘Captain Cool’ lifted Khaleel for a maximum over deep mid-wicket on the third ball of the over, and Ziva was seen cheering and high-fiving Sakshi Dhoni from the audience.

Returning to the game, Dhoni’s quick-fire innings against Mitchell Marsh was ultimately terminated when he was holed out to long on in the innings’ penultimate over. On a surface that has been favouring the spinners, CSK scored 167/8 in their stipulated 20 overs thanks to his outstanding knock.
The spinners for DC earlier in the innings, Kuldeep Yadav (1/28), Axar Patel (2/27), and Lalit Yadav (1/34, 3 overs), spun a web around the CSK batters and prevented any significant partnerships throughout the middle overs. As the CSK hitters struggled to adjust to the wicket’s sluggishness, they continued to chip away at the wickets. But cameos from Ruturaj Gaikwad (24 off 18), Shivam Dube (25 off 12), Ambati Rayudu (23 off 17), Ravindra Jadeja (21 off 16), and Dhoni enabled their team to surpass the 160-run threshold.
In the second innings, Delhi got off to the worst possible start as they conceded the prized scalp of DC skipper David Warner in the first over itself when he was caught at short cover for a duck. Mitchell Marsh (5 off 4) and Philip Salt (17 off 11) were also significant wicket-losers for Delhi.
