MS Dhoni’s Hilarious Entrance: Chennai Pacers Unveil IPL Banter
During the IPL 2024 clash between Chennai and Kolkata at MA Chidambaram Stadium, pacer Tushar Deshpande shared a rib-tickling anecdote involving MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja. In the 17th over of CSK’s innings, Jadeja teased the crowd by pretending to walk out after a dismissal.
However, the prankster swiftly retreated back into the dugout, setting the stage for Dhoni’s grand entrance, much to the delight of the Chepauk faithful. Deshpande revealed the clever scheme orchestrated by Jadeja and Dhoni.
Later, Jadeja, hailed as the Player of the Match, acknowledged the anticipation among Chennai’s audience to witness Dhoni’s batting prowess.
Jadeja’s stellar performance, which included key wickets, contributed significantly to Chennai’s 7-wicket triumph over Kolkata. His spell of 3 wickets for 18 runs stifled Kolkata’s batting lineup, paving the way for CSK’s victory.
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten 67 and valuable contributions from Daryl Mitchell and Shivam Dube ensured Chennai’s successful chase with 14 balls to spare, ending their two-match losing streak.
