MS Dhoni failed to find the rhythm in IPL 2021

The India leg of IPL 2021 was Chennai Super Kings bouncing back stronger. Halfway through the competition, the Yellow Army is proudly sitting at the second position with as many as five victories from seven league matches. The franchise started its campaign with a loss against Delhi Capitals.

However, they followed it up with five back-to-back wins against Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team’s second loss in the T20 extravaganza came against Mumbai Indians in a nail-biting affair.

Coming into the UAE, the MS Dhoni-led side will be hoping to continue their domination. Dhoni, on the other hand, will also wish to improve his performance with the willow. The 40-year-old had failed to get going during the first phase of the competition as he ended up with just 37 runs at a poor average of 12.33.
