When Shivam Dube reaches fifty MS Dhoni’s reaction from dugout is a CSK gold in IPL 2024 match against GT
The skipper of CSK Ruturaj Gaikwad gave credit to MS Dhoni for working on ShivamDube’s game in the build-up to the Indian Premier League2024. On Tuesday while repaying the faith, Dube played a brilliant knock to make sure the Super Kings posted a gigantic target for the 2022 winners, Gujarat Titans in match No.7 of the tournament. In the rematch of last year’s final, Dube extended Dhoni’s stay at the dugout as Chennai reached 206-6 in the 20-over contest.
With CSK trying out young gun Sameer Rizvi at the No.6 position, Dhoni was unused as a batter in the recently concluded encounter. Though fans didn’t get to see Dhoni make his trademark walk with the bat at the Chepauk, the CSK icon was up on his feet when Dube completed his quick-fire half-century. It was raining sixes, and Dhoni had the best seat in the house. Dube tormented the GT bowlers at the famous MA Chidambaram Stadium. Rallying behind Dube from the stands, Dhoni was seen applauding the CSK southpaw for his blazing knock.
Watch the reaction here.
While New Zealand’s RachinRavindra set the tone with his 46-run knock, Dube took over and notched up the only fifty of the contest. Dube smoked five sixes and creamed two boundaries in his entertaining knock against the Gujarat Titans.
