MS Dhoni’s memorable performance against Punjab Kings
Dhoni’s best performance came against Punjab Kings in the year 2018. Let us tell you that that season, Chennai Super Kings batsmen had to struggle a lot to score runs on the slow pitch of Mohali.
So during this time, while batting at number 5, Dhoni played a brilliant inning of 79* runs with the help of 6 fours and 5 sixes, which is also his best performance against Punjab. However, in this match, Punjab Kings won by 4 wickets due to the excellent batting of Chris Gayle.
MS Dhoni may face competition from these bowlers against Punjab Kings
Kagiso Rabada: There may be a competition between fast bowler Kagiso Rabada, who plays for South Africa, and MS Dhoni. This could be because Dhoni is seen batting at the end of the innings, while Rabada is also seen bowling in the death overs for Punjab in the ongoing season.
Harshal Patel: Fast bowler Harshal Patel, who is playing for Punjab Kings this season, has a lot of variation in his bowling, which he can use against Dhoni. However, this variation will not make much difference to Dhoni, because he comes to bat in the last overs of CSK’s batting, and thinks about hitting boundaries on every ball.
