On Sunday, Mahendra Singh Dhoni showed everyone why he is still regarded as the most destructive batsman the world has ever seen. In his brief cameo in which he scored blistering 37 runs from just 16 balls, Dhoni at the age of 42 showed that he is still capable of demolishing attacks. 

Playing in front of a jam-packed stadium in Vizag, 'The Thala' received an arousing reception as he came in to bat against Delhi Capitals. The result didn't go in CSK’s favour but the fans got their money’s worth. 

Taking more about Dhoni’s knock, former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee urged CSK to let Dhoni bat up the order. Lee argued that MS Dhoni has a sharp brain and CSK will fail to have any benefit if the former captain comes out to bat as low as No. 7 or 8 for the franchise.

"He was on tonight, he was not rusty. I do want more from him in terms of batting. Get yourself up the order. He is outstanding, his brain is still nice and sharp, CSK please get MS Dhoni up the order," Brett Lee said on Jio Cinema. 

CSK will play their next match against SRH on April 5 in Hyderabad.
