In the match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, Dhoni did the finishing work in the last over.
Dhoni, who has not scored a big run in the last few IPL seasons, is in good form this time.
In the last over against Mumbai, Dhoni scored 16 runs to help the Chennai Super Kings to their second victory.
Luck
In the last over bowled by Mumbai's Unadkat, Dhoni scored 16 runs with two fours and a six to help Chennai win. With the popularity of Dhoni being sung all over the internet, fans have been commenting that Dhoni is back. On the other hand, some have suggested that Dhoni's batting was due to sheer luck.
That is, because of Unadkat's over in which Dhoni easily hit 16 off 4 balls. If someone else had delivered the ball, surely he would not have given Chennai a win.
Incident that happened in 2017
In this situation, Dhoni's fans have been giving a strange response to the fans who are referring to that. Last 2017 Rising Pune Super Giants and Mumbai Indians clashed, in this, Dhoni and Unadkat were included in the Pune team.
Back then, batting second, Mumbai needed 17 runs in the last over to win. At that time, Rohit and Hardik Pandya were on the field. At one point, Unadkat, who bowled the over, gave up 13 runs and took the wickets of Rohit and Hardik.
Even Russell was beaten ..
Thus, Unadkat helped Pune win by 3 runs. Dhoni scored 16 runs in the same over. Rohit and Hardik Pandya have been speculating as to why they did not score 17 runs in the same Unadkat over that day. For example, in yesterday's (23.04.2022) match against Gujarat, Kolkata needed 18 runs to win the last over to have Russell in action.
However, the team managed to score only 9 runs. Fans have pointed out that Dhoni has done what players like Rohit and Russell could not do, that Dhoni has done his part better than who the bowlers are, and that this did not happen by some luck.
