LSG VS CSK: Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a big name and a crowd puller whenever and wherever his goes. Such is the craze for the Indian legend that fans turn up to the venue in huge numbers just to get a glimpse of the iconic player, who's arguably the greatest Indian captain ever. One such noticeable incident occured at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow as fans erupted during the first innings of the match, as 'Thala' came out to bat for Chennai Super Kings.

In the story, it's clearly mentioned (on the smartwatch of Sasha De Kock (Quinton De Kock's wife) which she is wearing on her wrist) that as soon as MS Dhoni walked out to bat, the noise level reached 95 decibels and is indeed, a noise alert.
"LOUD ENVIRONMENT — Sound levels hit 95 decibels. Just 10 minutes at this level can cause temporary hearing loss. Repeated long-term," read the notification on Sasha De Kock's smartwatch.
KL Rahul Acknowledges Overall Impact Of MS Dhoni
"Halfway stage, I would have been happy with 160. Felt like the wicket was a bit slow, bit of a grip but not too much. 160-165 would have been ideal. But its MSD, he walks in and the pressure gets to the bowlers and that's the presence and intimidation that he's had over teams and oppositions and bowlers," said KL Rahul during post match presentation ceremony.
"We have a young team and its the first time they were put under pressure by a huge figure like MS and the crowd was really loud. They stuck to their plans but he is a phenomenal player to still hit that for sixes. 15-20 runs extra but we knew if we batted well, we can get to the total," he added.
