Mahendra Singh Dhoni has shown glimpses of his finishing whenever he has got the chance in IPL 2024, but the Chennai Super Kings veteran will look to make his presence felt when he faces rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday (May 18) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The seasoned campaigner MS Dhoni, who has been at his best behind the stumps despite a troublesome knee, has rolled back the years with some flashy knocks this season, smashing an unbeaten 37 off 16 balls vs Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam.

The former skipper then scored a 4-ball 20 against Mumbai Indians, a 9-ball 28 against Lucknow Super Giants and also an 11-ball 26 against Gujarat Titans. In most other matches, he has rarely had the chance to bat, including the reverse fixture against RCB in Chennai.

The 42-year-old will now look to dazzle the crowd with another cameo when he faces a team he has scored over 800 runs so far in IPL history at a venue where he has dominated the opposition. Here's a look at MS Dhoni record vs RCB in IPL:
