MS Dhoni’s blistering cameo against Mumbai Indians ended up being the difference for CSK’s win. Chennai Super Kings defeated MI by 20 runs in a exciting clash as Dhoni yet again steals the headlines. CSK’s bowling consultant Eric Simmons claimed that even at this age, MS Dhoni never seems to amaze the team.
Another Unbelievable MS Dhoni Moment
“You get an over like that, it gives you a massive momentum. He continues to amaze us. He has been batting exceptionally well from the pre season into the tournament. It is just another unbelievable MS Dhoni moment,” said Eric Simmons after the game.
MS Dhoni came to bat late into the game. He faced just 4 deliveries and managed to smash Hardik Pandya for 20 runs. He began his blistering cameo with three consecutive sixes as CSK went on to pile up 206 runs on the board.
Wickets are a bonus
Matheesha Pathirana was exceptional in his bowling spell. The Lankan pacer bagged 4 wickets to break Mumbai Indians back. His victims included the likes of Ishan Kishan, Suryaakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Romario Shepherd. Eric Simmons claimed that the wickets for him are a bonus, as his biggest outputs.
“He is an exceptional talent, he was outstanding. I told to him, the wickets was a bonus but his accuracy was really good,” Simmons concluded.
