MS Dhoni blazed away to a blistering 20 off nine balls to help hosts Chennai Super Kings post a decent 167/8 against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday. Opting to bat, CSK never really got going as the Delhi bowlers kept striking at regular intervals. However, Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja (21) smashed some much-needed boundaries and maximums to take them over the 160-run mark. Spinners Axar Patel (2/27), Kuldeep Yadav (1/28), and Lalit Yadav (1/34) shared four wickets amongst themselves, while Mitchell Marsh took three scalps.
The IPL, being the gleeful extravaganza it is, never ceases to surprise or amuse its viewers, and a funny incident surfaced after CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and opted to bat at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. As `Thala` walked back to the dressing room following the toss, he chanced upon fellow teammate Deepak Chahar, catching him off guard. Moments later, Dhoni playfully hit Chahar, much to the pacer`s astonishment. The video of the incident has since gone viral on social media. Watch the video below.
