During the match, the former CSK captain hit three fours and a six during his brief stint in the middle, taking the team's score to 176 for 6 in 2 overs. His stroke play was amazing, and the crowd roared for him in unison, making Ekana look like Chepauk. However, Dhoni's innings was insufficient to give the defending champions their third consecutive win, as KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock both scored half-centuries to keep LSG on track for their fourth win of the season.
