Meanwhile, MS Dhoni is currently leading Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing IPL 2020. They had a horrific run in the competition and were the first team to bow out of the competition. On a personal note, Dhoni, who returned to action for the first time since July 2019, and has looked completely out of socks.
In 12 games so far, he has managed to score only 199 runs. More than the runs, it is his poor strike-rate that has invited criticism. He performance sums up Chennai’s run in IPL 2020. They are currently in the last position with only four wins from 12 matches.
