“Last phase of my career, important to enjoy it,” says MS Dhoni after CSK’s easy win over SRH

MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni is undoubtedly the heart of Chepauk fans but unfortunately, they did not see him bat during Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Dhoni did not get the chance to bat because they had a paltry target in front of them to chase. A target of 135 runs, was enough for the star opening pair of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad to steer the team to it easily without much hassle.

Dhoni did not get the chance to bat in CSK’s previous match also. He came down to bat in the last over against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). And prior to the RCB, he had displayed his vintage form in a match against Rajasthan Royals. He would have finished the innings but eventually, they lost the match by three runs.

Back to CSK’s present match against SRH, Dhoni said fans have waited long to see the Yellow team play in Chepauk. He added that though he did not get the batting, he is not complaining as his team has been performing very well.

“Whatever said and done, last phase of my career, important to enjoy it. It feels good to be here. They have given a lot of love and affection. They always stay late to listen to me,” said MS Dhoni told Harsha Bhogle after the match.

CSK vs SRH

During SRH’s batting, MS Dhoni had taken a sharp catch to dismiss skipper Aiden Markram. It was Maheesh Theekshana‘s delivery which Markram cut but got an outside edge. Dhoni from behind the stumps got a stunning catch. And after the match, he joked that the catch should have been the best catch of this match.

“Still they didn’t give me the best catch. I felt it was a fantastic catch. Long time back I still remember one game- Rahul Dravid was keeping and he caught one like that. Definitely old, can’t shy away from that,” Dhoni said.
