Suresh Raina Aids Limping MS Dhoni After CSK’s Triumph Over Mumbai Indians
Former Indian batsman Suresh Raina displayed his camaraderie with MS Dhoni after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secured a 20-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Raina was seen assisting Dhoni back to the team bus as the latter appeared to be limping.
Dhoni, who is on the verge of surpassing AB de Villiers as the sixth-highest run-scorer in IPL history, has amassed 5121 runs in 255 matches. He needs just 40 more runs to achieve this milestone.
In a video posted by CSK, Raina can be seen lending a helping hand to Dhoni as he boards the team bus after the match. The defending champions emerged victorious by 20 runs in the 29th fixture of the IPL 2024.
Raina, who is fifth on the list with 5528 runs in 205 IPL matches, has played a crucial role in CSK’s success over the years. He has scored runs at an average of 32.51 and at a strike rate of 136.73 with the best score of 100*.
In the match against MI, Rohit Sharma’s valiant second IPL century went in vain as a four-wicket haul from Matheesha Pathirana restricted MI to 186/6 in their 20 overs. CSK, in response, posted a strong 206/4 thanks to big half-centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube. Dhoni’s hat-trick of sixes in the final over sealed the victory for CSK.
With this win, CSK moved to third place in the standings with four wins and two losses, while MI remained in eighth place with two wins and four losses.
