The Ekana stadium in Lucknow witnessed a surge in excitement as MS Dhoni walked out to bat during the IPL 2024 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Quinton de Kock‘s wife, Sasha, shared a snapshot on her Instagram story revealing the sound level inside the stadium, which had reached 95 decibels, as indicated by her smartwatch. However, her message also highlighted the potential risk, stating that just 10 minutes at this sound level could cause temporary hearing loss.
Dhoni’s arrival at the crease further ignited the crowd, as he delivered yet another entertaining performance. Coming in to bat with CSK at 141/6 in 17.5 overs, Dhoni played a whirlwind knock, scoring 28 runs off just 9 balls. His innings included a boundary and a six to get started, followed by some impressive running between the wickets. In the final over bowled by Yash Thakur, Dhoni smashed a colossal 101-meter six that thrilled the spectators. He concluded his innings with a couple of more boundaries, contributing significantly to CSK’s total of 176.
Dhoni’s performance received praise from Aaron Finch, who likened Dhoni’s play to that of a 22-year-old. The crowd at Ekana was treated to a vintage Dhoni innings, showcasing his exceptional skills and ability to thrill fans even after all these years.
The match between LSG and CSK continues to be an exciting affair, with both teams battling it out for victory in the IPL 2024 season.
