Is Mahendra Singh Dhoni out? There is no doubt that the age has crossed 39 and is approaching forty. Even in the batting form, the previous jhanjha is not seen. But to say whether Dhoni is gone or not, you have to think a second time. More after the match on Wednesday night!
After losing one match after another, Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings are in a bad situation in the current IPL. The road to the play-offs is getting harder and harder for the team which has lost 4 out of 6 matches.
Chennai have almost won the match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday. Dhoni also failed with the bat. Dhoni was dismissed for 11 off 12 balls to chase down Kolkata's 18 runs.
However, the three-time Chennai captain has covered up all the failures in the previous innings. He explained that he did not bow down due to his age. He still has the ability to fight on an equal footing with many young people.
The last over was going on in Kolkata's innings. What Dhoni showed as a 'youth' behind the wicket will be in the eyes of IPL fans for a long time to come.
Dhoni was pointing at bowler Dwayne Bravo from behind before bowling Shivam Mavi. And realizing that gesture, Bravo made a low-speed delivery outside the off-stamp. Mavi went to the forest really stupid. Dhoni's charisma ends here? No.
The ball landed on the edge of Mavi's bat and Dhoni's hand was almost slipping out. But was not saved in the end. Unable to catch in the first over, Dhoni jumped like a bird and took an incredible catch from near the second slip.
Everyone's eyes watered at the catch. Even the fiercest critics will be forced to say that this Dhoni will never give up. Age is just a number!
