IPL 2024: MS Dhoni Grants Wish Of Specially-Abled Fan In Lucknow, Heartwarming Video Goes Viral
In the ongoing IPL 2024, MS Dhoni, the former Chennai Super Kings captain, continues to capture hearts with his gestures both on and off the field. During a recent match against Mumbai Indians, Dhoni's act of handing over the match ball to a young fan while returning to the dressing room resonated deeply with fans online.
In another heartwarming moment, ahead of a game in Lucknow, Dhoni spotted a specially-abled fan patiently waiting for him after a practice session. The fan held a sketch of Dhoni in his wicket-keeping batter avatar, eagerly awaiting his arrival. Dhoni, known for his humility, took the time to finish his drills before graciously signing the artwork, much to the joy of the fan. The video capturing this exchange quickly went viral on social media platforms, sparking a wave of fan interactions and admiration.
Dhoni's on-field prowess was once again on display during Chennai Super Kings' clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium. Despite entering the fray at no.8, the 42-year-old stalwart delivered a whirlwind cameo, smashing an unbeaten 28 runs off just 9 balls. His innings was studded with three fours and two sixes, showcasing his remarkable hitting ability even in the twilight of his career.
Walking in to bat with CSK at 141/6, Dhoni received a rousing reception from the crowd. He wasted no time, getting off the mark with a single before unleashing a flurry of boundaries. Dhoni's assault on the opposition bowlers included consecutive boundaries off left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan in the 19th over, followed by two fours and a six off Yash Thakur in the final over.
Despite Dhoni's heroics, CSK's total of 176/6 wasn't enough to secure victory as Lucknow Super Giants chased down the target comfortably with an over to spare. Led by skipper KL Rahul's outstanding knock of 82 runs and Quinton de Kock's composed 54 off 43 deliveries, LSG cruised to victory, moving up to the 5th spot on the points table with 8 points from 7 matches.
