On Sunday, MS Dhoni returned to batting after a hiatus of 307 days, treating fans to a spectacular 16-ball 37-run (not out) innings. Despite his prolonged absence from the crease, the 42-year-old legend showed no signs of discomfort, dazzling spectators with his explosive performance. What made the innings truly remarkable was Dhoni’s strategic approach; aware of Chennai Super Kings (CSK)’s slim chances of victory, he focused on scoring as close to the target as possible.
However, post-match concerns arose when fans noticed Dhoni limping after his innings. Sporting an ice cap on his left calf muscle, Dhoni struggled to walk while posing for selfies with supporters. The sight prompted worry among CSK fans, who fear Dhoni might be sidelined for IPL 2024, rumored to be his final season in the tournament.
At 42 years young, the evergreen MSD continues to defy age. If last time it was his stellar fielding, this time it’s his batting heroics that have the town buzzing. Donning his iconic number seven jersey, every stadium feels like home for the five-time champions, and Viac Stadium was no exception last Sunday.

Throngs of fans filled the stands, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of their beloved MSD. And their patience was rewarded. In the previous two matches, Dhoni hadn’t been called upon, but to the delight of thousands, he finally stepped onto the pitch. Facing Mukesh Kumar’s short ball, Dhoni wasted no time in taking charge, treating the ball with finesse.
In just 16 deliveries, Dhoni amassed 37 runs, most of them coming in boundaries. Though his efforts couldn’t turn the tide for his team that day, the Viac crowd got their money’s worth and then some. Even in a losing cause, Dhoni’s performance was electrifying, drawing admiration from all quarters.
As the match ended, Dhoni, as always, became the focal point. Opposing players sought to pick his brain, each acknowledging the legend’s stature. Ishan Sharma even went as far as bowing down to him, a testament to Dhoni’s enduring influence.
Yet, amidst the adulation, questions arose about Dhoni’s batting position. Many felt batting at number eight was too low for his caliber. Perhaps, had he come in earlier, the outcome could have been different. The consensus was clear: Dhoni deserves a higher spot in the batting order.
However, while Dhoni’s performances continue to dazzle, it’s important to temper expectations. Despite his superhuman efforts, Dhoni’s prime years are behind him. Even his former coach, Ravi Shastri, hinted that this might be his final season.
The sight of Dhoni limping off the field in a previous match raised concerns among fans. While the franchise hasn’t issued a statement, one can’t help but worry about his fitness. With rumors swirling about this being his last IPL season, every moment of Dhoni’s play is precious.
So, to all the fans, cherish every opportunity to watch MSD in action. Whether it’s his last season or not, his legacy will endure, and his impact on the game will be felt for generations to come.
