Fans want to see a glimpse of MS Dhoni during IPL 2024. The moment he is shown on a giant screen, or he comes out for practice sessions, fielding, or batting, the supports go wild. The noise levels have been so high that Quinton de Kock’s wife had to complain about temporary hearing loss when the former CSK captain came out of the dressing room to bat in the LSG vs CSK game in Lucknow.
The cameraman is following him everywhere. He is shown eating, watching the proceedings, getting his body ready for the battle, and also talking to the teammate.
However, on Monday, during the sensational hitting by CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube in the match against Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, when the camera followed him, he lost his cool. He threatened the person with the water bottle before the cameraperson realized his mistake and started focussing on the match proceedings.
Gaikwad became the first CSK captain ever to score a hundred in IPL as he accumulated an unbeaten 108 off 60 balls, while Dube amassed 66 off 27 balls. The two stitched a 104-run partnership to power the hosts to 210 for four.
It was the third-highest fourth-wicket stand for the Men in Yellow after 109* between MS Dhoni and S Badrinath in 2010 and 108* between Dhoni and Mike Hussey in 2014.
Dhoni came out to bat with just two balls left and hit a four on the only delivery he faced. Meanwhile, Marus Stoinis’ 124 runs sealed the game in LSG’s favor by 6 wickets.
