MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni once again reminded the cricketing world why he's considered one of the greatest finishers in the game. The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow turned into a sea of yellow as fans erupted with chants of "Dhoni! Dhoni!" while the Chennai Super Kings legend made his way onto the field. With CSK staring at a sixth consecutive loss, Dhoni and Shivam Dube pulled off a thrilling chase, helping their side secure a much-needed victory over Lucknow Super Giants.
Chennai needed 55 runs off the last 5 overs. Under pressure? Not when MS Dhoni is at the crease. He and Dube stitched together a match-winning, unbeaten 57-run stand in just 27 balls, sealing CSK's second win in seven games this IPL season.

What made the moment even more memorable was Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav’s cheeky Instagram story that quickly went viral. Referencing a famous scene from the classic biopic MS Dhoni The Untold Story, Surya humorously reimagined the exchange between Dhoni and Dube.
"Mahi bhai - Strike dega toh tum bana lega? Dube - Try kar lenge. Mahi bhai - Try karna hai toh hum hi kar lete hai. Tum bas runout mat karwa dena."
The quote perfectly captured the essence of the partnership — calm, composed, and ultimately, clutch.
Clash of Titans Up Next
This win not only boosted CSK’s morale but also spiced up the points table. Now sitting with 2 wins and 5 losses, Chennai is set for a high-voltage face-off against Mumbai Indians at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on April 20.
With Dhoni back in form and the ever-reliable Dube stepping up, fans can expect another electrifying IPL clash. Will CSK continue their comeback story? All eyes on Mumbai!
