IPL 2021: MS Dhoni gets helicopter wielding, in the groove ahead of Mumbai Indian clash

IPL
2021,
which
was
suspended
in
May,
moves
to
UAE
and
resumes
in
Dubai
with
a
blockbuster
clash
between
CSK
and
defending
champions
Mumbai
Indians,
who
beat
Dhoni’s
men
in
the
reverse
fixture
on
May
1.

The
former
India
captain
is
all
set
to
display
his
magnificent
strokeplay
and
looked
in
good
touch
as
he
was
seen
whacking
bowlers
for
huge
sixes
during
the
practice
matches.

CSK
on
Saturday
(September

shared
the
video
of
Dhoni
taking
the
bowlers
to
cleaners
in
the
practice
game.
And
in
the
video,
Dhoni
displays
his
sheer
power,
his
trademark
helicopter
shot
and
impeccable
timing
as
he
smoked
sixes
to
every
part
of
the
ground.

“All
arealayum
Thala,”
CSK
tweeted.

Dhoni,
who
has
scored
37
runs
in
4
innings
at
the
strike
rate
of
123.33
including
a
solitary
six
and
4
fours,
will
look
to
better
that
stat,
but
most
importantly
needs
to
bat
up
the
order
as
he
has
most
often
batted
lower
down
the
order
this
season.

But,
with
the
top
order
firing,
the
CSK
skipper
will
be
happy
with
his
team’s
position
in
the
points
table
as
they
are
currently
second
with
10
points
from
7
matches,
having
won
5
matches.

When
IPL
2021
was
suspended
earlier
this
year
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
three
teams
were
storming
ahead
in
the
race
to
reach
the
play-offs
–
Delhi
Capitals,
Chennai
Super
Kings
and
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore.

CSK
and
RCB
have
10
points
each
from
seven
games
and
they
need
to
win
three
more
out
of
their
remaining
seven
matches
to
reach
the
play-off
stage,
while
table-toppers
DC
are
on
12
points
with
6
wins
from
eight
matches.

prediction

CSK’s
opponent
MI
could
be
the
fourth
team
making
the
play-offs,
but
face
a
challenge
with
two
other
teams.
The
defending
champions
Mumbai
Indians
currently
hold
the
fourth
spot
with
eight
points,
while
the
fifth
and
sixth-placed
Rajasthan
Royals
and
Punjab
Kings
have
six
points
each.

Kolkata
Knight
Riders
and
SunRisers
Hyderabad
are
at
the
seventh
and
eighth
places
with
four
and
two
points
respectively
and
both
these
teams
face
an
uphill
task
to
reach
the
play-off
stage.

CSK
will
aim
for
similar
outcome
to
the
first
half
of
IPL
2021
as
they
begin
their
reverse
fixture
matches
on
September
19
at
the
Dubai
International
Stadium
against
Mumbai
Indians.
