Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh) [India], Chennai Super Kings (CSK) icon MS Dhoni, for the first time in his illustrious career, came in at No. 9 in T20 cricket in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Sunday. Again against Punjab Kings. Dhoni has been seen playing at No. 9 or lower in his T20 career at the beautiful Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. The decorated wicketkeeper's presence in eight innings at number eight was seen in IPL 2023 and 2024. Once again, fireworks were expected from the effortless power hitter, who would take CSK's score to a competitive total. However, Harshal Patel's brilliant off-cutter on the final ball of the final over left the fans stunned as Dhoni walked back for a golden duck. A slower ball on the stumps, the off-cutter dipped so much that it went past Dhoni's bat and touched the off-stump. While Dhoni's fans were left stunned, there was a wave of joy in the PBKS camp. Preity Zinta was all smiles as PBKS fans celebrated the veteran batsman's wicket. Dhoni has overall struggled to put runs on the board against the craft pace bowlers. In 33 balls, Dhoni managed to score 25 runs at an average of 8.33 and strike rate of 75.75. Harshal has dismissed the CSK batsman thrice in 33 balls. Ravindra Jadeja increased CSK's score before Arshdeep Singh was dismissed in the final over. He scored 43 runs and hit 3 fours and 2 sixes during his impressive innings. CSK managed to score 167/9 runs on the board, which proved to be enough for the visitors.
