As much as cricket fans wait for IPL, more than they wait to see Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni is welcomed with great enthusiasm at the home ground of every team. In the first match of the 16th season of IPL, he played a short but powerful inning against Gujarat Titans. Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium is Gujarat's home ground, but it felt like Dhoni's team's ground.
The echo of Dhoni-Dhoni was heard continuously in the Narendra Modi Stadium. He landed at the crease after the dismissal of Ravindra Jadeja on the fourth ball of the 18th over. He hit a six and a four off Joshua Little in the last over. Dhoni scored an unbeaten 14 runs in seven balls. His strike rate was 200. When Dhoni hit the third ball of the 20th over for a six, the whole stadium was in jubilation.
This happened for the first time in Dhoni's career
Dhoni batted at number eight in the match. This happened for the first time in his T20 career. He had not landed at number eight before. Thanks to Dhoni's 14 runs, the Chennai team crossed the 170-run mark. Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl. Chennai scored 178 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs.
