MS Dhoni, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend, is continuing to win play important knocks for his team even at 42. The wicketkeeper-batter only gets a few balls to make an impact for his side but even at the twilight of his career, he has been able to play crucial knocks for his side. In IPL 2024, Dhoni managed to play an impactful cameo in almost every match that he batted and even remained not out in his first 7 innings.

However, in CSK's home game against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday (May 1), Dhoni was dismissed for the first time in IPL 2024. While the Master Finisher was set to remain not out yet again, a last-ball run out ended his innings and broke his streak of unbeaten knocks this season. Dhoni tried to come back for a second but Harshal Patel recovered quickly after an initial misfield to give the ball to the keeper Jitesh Sharma who dislodged the bail in time to catch Dhoni short of his crease.
