Cricket fans witnessed an exhausted MS Dhoni on October 2 during the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) match in Dubai. Regarded as one of the fastest running backs in the 22-yard strip, Dhoni found it difficult to rotate the strike during the chase. Despite his rusty appearance, Dhoni managed to score 47 unbeaten on 36 balls.
In pursuit of the 165-run goal, CSK ended up scoring 157/5 in his quota of 20 overs and lost the game by 7 runs. Dhoni, along with Ravindra Jadeja (50), worked hard to bring the game home, but failed in their mission. This caused quite a stir on social media as many questioned Dhoni’s aptitude. After all, the CSK captain hadn’t played international cricket for over a year.

In the middle of this episode, former left arm Indian pacemaker Irfan Pathan marked his presence with a witty tweet. Although he did not take any names, the tone of the tweet suggested that it is directed at the former captain of India.
Pathan wrote: “Age is just a number for some and for others a reason to be eliminated …”
Dhoni’s condition also made commenters curious. The CSK boss was subsequently questioned about his health and confirmed that he was suffering from the weather conditions. He also added that there is not much to worry about.
“I tried to have as much time as possible. It’s pretty dry here. Then the throat becomes dry and you start coughing. When he has legal signs, he can take time off, ”Dhoni said.
It was CSK’s third consecutive loss in this tournament so far. They currently have only 2 points on their kitty and they are placed at the bottom of the point table. They will now be preparing to face Kings XI Punjab on October 4 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
