Watch: MS Dhoni says don't mess with my gloves; takes two wickets in an over
MS Dhoni was back for Chennai Super Kings again after suffering from illness. Dhoni made a fantastic comeback and entertained his fans at Chepauk with his all-round performance as it was CSK’s last home game. MS Dhoni was part of three dismissals in the second innings and won the player of the match award for his 44 off 22.
MS Dhoni dismissed two crucial players in the 12th over of the match. Chris Morris the all-rounder was the first one to go when Ravindra Jadeja bowled and Dhoni removed the bails in no time. Delhi Capitals’ skipper Shreyas Iyer became his second victim in the same over, Dhoni was even quicker than the last time to dismiss Iyer.
