Dhoni, at 43, still continues to surprise all with his fitness and power-hitting.
IPL 2025 is two days away, and cricket fans are waiting eagerly for the tournament to start. But CSK fans are even more eager since they are about to witness MS Dhoni playing once again. After stepping down from international cricket, Dhoni plays only in the IPL, and his fans wait for this time throughout the year.
Dhoni, at 43, still continues to surprise all with his fitness and power-hitting. He can hit huge sixes with ease and remains a key player for CSK. Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa feels that Dhoni could again perform the role of a finisher this season, scoring quick runs towards the end of the innings.
JioHotstar expert, Robin Uthappa shared his thoughts about MS Dhoni. He mentioned that fans will get to see glimpses of Dhoni’s brilliance this season. Uthappa believes Dhoni might bat at number 7 or 8, similar to last year, and will probably face around 12 to 20 balls in most matches.
“As far as Mahi is concerned, I think we will get to see glimpses of his brilliance because I have a feeling that he might bat at number 7 or number 8. Very much like last year, and we will see him bat between 12 and 20 balls through the season.” Uthappa said.
