Ms. Dhoni once again produced quick light to leave everyone amazed during the 2025 IPL meeting between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday. It was a Dhoni brand effort behind the stumps while rejecting the salt of the 32 -year -old shape. During the last ball in the fifth, Salt was beaten by a Googly by Noor Ahmad and Dhoni removed the sureties in a flash. The referee did an exam and the reruns showed that the hinge of the striker was in the air when Dhoni finished the super fast boost. It was yet another example of the great Dhoni reflexes behind the counter and the dismissal video became viral on social networks.

Captain of the RCB, Rajat Patidar, said that they also wanted to make a bowl first, but that the striker would not make much difference. “We wanted the surface to look difficult, would not have made a big difference. It is important to bring out the best every day, I want to do it tonight too.
“The bowling unit showed courage in the last match after 13 pupils, it was comforting. The openers showing the intention were also impressive. RCB vs CSK is one of the best games because of the way the fans support the two teams,” said Patidar.
