MS Dhoni nearly pulled off a stunning win in his 200th match as Chennai Super Kings captain on Wednesday. With 21 runs required off the final over against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni walloped Sandeep Sharma for two back-to-back sixes.
However, the legendary skipper’s effort went in vain as RR held on for a nervy three-run win. Following the thrilling IPL 2023 contest, Dhoni was spotted having a conversation with Ravichandran Ashwin and Sanju Samson at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Speculating about their possible topic of discussion, one person commented, “This is really an epic picture. I am sure it must have been a rib-tickler about Ashwin’s bowling against CSK.”

Samson was full of praise for Dhoni. “Never (if RR felt they have the game in their possiesion), you can’t feel that way till the time that guy (Dhoni) is in the middle. I do a lot of planning, research and sit down with the data team. A lot of thoughts are going around. Nothing works on Dhoni, though,” Samson said during the post-match presentation.
