This injury sent shockwaves to every fan sitting in the Narendra Modi Stadium and the CSK camp as well. Looking at Dhoni’s condition, Chennai’s physio was quick to run on the field and check on the veteran cricketer. After assessing his condition, the physio made his way back to the dugout. Dhoni continued to keep wickets as the game couldn’t last for too long.
Dhoni Starred With the Bat for CSK
In the context of any game, the 19th over of the second innings in a T20 game is considered to be the most important over. Dhoni’s most trusted bowler- Chahar was given the responsibility of bowling that over. With five wickets down the game was hanging in balance. Chahar conceded a boundary on the second ball in the form of leg byes. That delivery eased off the pressure from the Titans.
On the fourth delivery, Rashid Khan, playing his first ball, dispatched Chahar for a gigantic six. Rashid then smashed a boundary on the fifth ball to make the equation for the chasing team. Gujarat needed eight runs to win off the final over. Tewatia smacked two boundaries off the first two balls to win the game for his team by five wickets.

With this, he becomes the fifth batter to smash 200 sixes for a single IPL team.
