MS Dhoni Destroys Krunal Pandya With 6,6,4 After Fiery Bouncer: MS Dhoni, the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), thrilled the crowd with his powerful hitting on Friday, March 28. He smashed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya.
The 8th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) took place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
MS Dhoni Destroys Krunal Pandya With 6,6,4 After Fiery Bouncer
CSK’s bowlers had a tough time, allowing RCB to post a challenging target of 197 runs. While chasing, CSK got off to a shaky start and kept losing wickets consistently. Meanwhile, fans in the stadium grew excited as it raised the possibility of MS Dhoni coming in to bat earlier than expected.
Dhoni usually bats after Ravindra Jadeja, and with several all-rounders in the CSK squad, many expected him to come in at No.8. However, that wasn’t the case. Instead, Ravichandran Ashwin was sent at No.8, while Dhoni unexpectedly walked in at No.9. This was only the second time in his 344 T20 innings that he batted so low, leaving fans and experts surprised and critical of the decision.
By the time Dhoni arrived at the crease, CSK had little to no chance of winning. He didn’t start attacking immediately and took some time to settle in. His best moment came in the final over when the match was already out of reach.
Krunal Pandya bowled the last over, beginning with a full delivery followed by a bouncer. The short ball seemed to fire up Dhoni, who then smashed huge sixes on the third and fourth deliveries. He misjudged the next ball, playing a dot, but finished the over with a four.

Accept it. Dhoni is playing for CSK just for his brand value, not to make CSK win matches.

M. S. Dhoni comes to bat only in two situations –
1. when the match is already lost
2. when they are already winning— Krishna Lahoti (@avgphoenixguy) March 28, 2025

Dhoni is the most shameless athlete of all time. running retirement gimmick for 5 years, rules being bent to accommodate him, and comes to bat when 4 is needed of 9 balls. today sent Ashwin in a tricky situation.
