Having been relieved of international duties in 2019, fans expected to see Dhoni of old in the IPL. However, the last two seasons have been a struggle for MS Dhoni with the bat. In the ongoing season, the wicketkeeper-batter has only accumulated 84 runs in 13 outings at an average of less than 15 and a poor strike rate of below 100.

However, the talismanic skipper has led the team well. CSK is enjoying a dream run in the IPL 2021 and have already secured a berth in the playoffs.
