Srinagar: Former India Cricketer Harbhajan Singh has said that MS Dhoni showed the World once again what he could do as the talismanic former India captain led CSK to win against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL.
MS Dhoni scored 26 runs off 11 balls to help Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets in an IPL 2025 match at the Ekana, Lucknow.
“MS Dhoni is Baahubali. The captain showed the world what he could do when he came out to bat higher up the order. No.9 doesn’t suit him at all. He came in the right position against the Lucknow Super Giants. He batted superbly. He scored his own runs and helped Shivam Dube as well. Dhoni has the Midas touch. He turned back the clock. The bowling changes were brilliant. Nothing changed much. He just became the captain, and everything has changed. When he is the captain, everything looks different. He bats differently, too,” Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel.
“We say this because he knows what to do. He came to bat at the right place and time, putting the pressure back on Lucknow. He scored 26 runs off 11 balls and took the pressure right off. When Dhoni takes the captaincy role, he is completely different. The team under him plays differently. Well done to CSK. Congratulations to Dhoni,” he added.
During the game against Lucknow, MS Dhoni became the first wicketkeeper to have more than 200 dismissals in the IPL. He achieved the feat after he completed the stumping of Ayush Badoni.
