Same Impact, Same Grip, Same Charisma! MS Dhoni takes a stunner behind wickets in CSK vs GT IPL 2024 game, fans can't keep calm on Twitter

CSK vs GT IPL 2024: Former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni didn't come out to bat for the second time in a row, much to the disappointment of his fans.

In their second consecutive home fixture of the ongoing IPL 2024 season, CSK squared off against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday (March 26) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, replicating last year's final but on their home turf.

The decibel levels soared at the stadium, reaching a peak when the TV cameras focused on the CSK dressing room, capturing Dhoni observing the match from the team's balcony while Shivam Dube enthralled the crowd with his powerful strokes. The 'Shor Metre' at the venue recorded a staggering 124 decibels at this moment.

CSK concluded their innings with a formidable total of 206 for 6 in the allotted 20 overs after being sent in to bat first. Rachin Ravindra (46 off 20), Shivam Dube (51 off 23), and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (46 off 36) led the charge with the bat, with Dube's innings featuring five towering sixes.

CSK's high-profile signing, Sameer Rizvi, made a memorable IPL debut with a quickfire 14 off 6 balls, including two sixes off Rashid Khan (2/49 in 4 overs).

Despite the fervent Chepauk crowd, known for its unwavering support for the Yellow Army and their beloved Thala, missing out on witnessing Dhoni bat, the 42-year-old veteran left an indelible mark on the game with his exceptional fielding.

Displaying remarkable reflexes, Dhoni's lightning-quick dive to his right saw him snatch a catch behind the stumps to dismiss Vijay Shankar off Daryll Mitchell's bowling, a moment that took merely 0.60 seconds.

On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), fans marvelled at Dhoni's remarkable catch, affirming his enduring fitness and defying age stereotypes. This is what people said on X.
