Chennai Super Kings secured their second consecutive victory of the season with a strong performance against Gujarat Titans, winning by a significant margin of 63 runs. Their batting strength was on full display as they posted a solid total of 206/6, while Gujarat Titans struggled to keep up, managing only 143/8 in their 20 overs.
During the victory, everyone focused on the evergreen MS Dhoni, who, despite giving up the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad before the tournament, showed no signs of slowing down.
Dhoni, at the age of 42, displayed remarkable fitness, confirming his status as one of the best wicket-keepers in the world. His outstanding catch during the match, where he dove to his right to dismiss Gujarat batter Vijay Shankar, showcased his lasting ability and athleticism.
The catch instantly became the talk of the town, with fans and cricket lovers alike amazed by Dhoni’s brilliance. Social media platforms were filled with praise for the former CSK skipper, with fans expressing surprise at his agility and reflexes despite his age. One fan summed it up perfectly, highlighting Dhoni’s age-defying performance with a simple yet powerful statement: “42 years, Who? What a catch.”
