The LSG captain showcased a splendid batting performance, scoring 82 runs off 53 balls, leading the Super Giants to an eight-wicket victory against the Super Kings. The 32-year-old formed a formidable 134-run opening partnership with Quinton de Kock, laying the foundation for chasing down 177 runs.
“Special person for the whole country” – KL Rahul comments on MS Dhoni
In a recent video shared by Star Sports, Rahul expressed that some of the most memorable moments of his career have occurred while playing alongside Dhoni. The stylish right-handed batsman stated:
“He (MS Dhoni) is a special person for the whole country, and my most special moments with MS Dhoni were obviously when I received the Indian team’s cap from him.”
“In all three formats- Test, ODI, and T20, I received the cap from his hand as he was the captain. To receive those caps from his hand will be on top in the special moments and of course other things like playing cricket, wins, losses were also special, but they will come later.”
Dhoni has been impactful with the bat in the past two IPL matches, contributing valuable cameos. The 42-year-old smashed three sixes in his four-ball 20 against the Mumbai Indians and scored 29 runs off 8 deliveries against the Super Giants on Friday.
However, his efforts were futile as LSG outperformed the Super Kings, leading to their third defeat of the season.
