There was doubt whether he would play this match against Delhi Capitals. But the strong man that he is MS Dhoni walked out for the toss to the delight of the thousands present at the Chepauk and millions watching. He didn’t just repay the faith of the fans and prove his mettle with the bat but was ever so amazing behind the wickets as well.

Even at the toss after Chennai Super Kings were asked to bat first, Dhoni mentioned that he still was weak but still playing because that’s how it works at this level. After Suresh Raina and Faf du Plessis stitched a long yet slow partnership, it was expected that Dhoni would come out to bat. He continued to bat the way he has been and smashed 44 off 22 balls with four boundaries and three sixes.

His work behind the stumps impressed many of his followers and the fans of cricket lovers. They couldn’t simply resist themselves from reacting to it in social media. Check out some of the reactions here :

Not the best of days for us but will come back stronger from this one. Thought Raina batted really well and MS Dhoni showed his class again with bat and gloves. Kudos to the fantastic @ChennaiIPL crowd , they are unbelievable #CSKvDC
