72 of 27. Sab ulta hai in 3D mode.
The 3D glasses he ordered worked like how.
Absolutely brilliant hitting from Rayudu.

Dhoni the batsman is probably in the evening of his career. But Dhoni the captain and Dhoni the keeper seem ageless…

Poor last over by #Ngidi.. Too many full toss to pollard when just 16 needed🤦🏻♂️#CSKvsMI #IPL2021

Running out the non striker should be in spirit of the game. Would have Dhawal Kulkarni complete the 2nd run if he had not taken a big start?@IPL #CSKvsMI
