MS Dhoni and Chennai is a love story that never gets boring. Whenever MS Dhoni appears at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for Chennai Super Kings, the city erupts in joy. The situation was similar during CSK’s match against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. Dhoni came to bat in the last over and the stadium echoed. He also hit a four. But the viral moment happened when CSK was bowling. On the last ball of Tushar Deshpande’s 13th over, the umpire signaled wide on a ball from Marcus Stoinis.
However, Dhoni thought otherwise and indicated DRS. And, Dhoni’s decision was correct and the wide call was overturned. Following the decision, the Internet was flooded with ‘Dhoni Review System’ memes.

Although ‘Thala’ has only given small cameos during the IPL over the years, these have been highly impactful and ‘value for money’ for the fans in attendance. To celebrate and cherish the greatness of a player at the end of his illustrious career, thousands of fans forget the fan wars and differences that accompany franchise cricket.
In five IPL innings this year, MS has scored 87 runs while remaining unbeaten each time. His strike rate is 255.88, with a best score of 37* off 16 balls against Delhi Capitals. He has hit seven fours and eight sixes this season.
Dhoni’s record while batting in the last over of the innings is excellent. In his IPL career, he has scored 772 runs in 313 balls with a strike rate of over 246 in the 20th over. He hit 53 fours and 65 sixes in the last over. This season, Dhoni has scored 57 runs in the final overs with the help of four fours and six sixes in 16 balls at a strike rate of 356.25.
Dhoni, who rarely comes out during the last two-three overs, has the highest strike rate of around 256 runs in 16-20 overs among batsmen who have played at least 30 balls in this tournament. Even young, exciting, T20 specialists like Tristan Stubbs (96 runs at a strike rate of 246), Riyan Parag (91 runs at a strike rate of 233) and Dinesh Karthik (91 runs at a strike rate of 197 runs) Also an experienced T20 finisher. Heinrich Klaasen (125 runs at a strike rate of 232) is behind Dhoni.
The most surprising fact is that Dhoni has played only 34 balls in this tournament, all during the death overs, while all of them have played more than a hundred balls this season.
Dhoni has the highest boundary percentage in 16-20 overs at 87.30 percent, while Dinesh Karthik (80.20 percent) and Andre Russell (79.60 percent) are behind him.
