Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to return in IPL 2018 after serving 2 years of suspension. The IPL Governing Council has announced the retention policy ahead of the 2018 auction. Each franchise is allowed to retain a maximum of five players.
With the big announcement, all decks have been cleared for MS Dhoni to return to CSK. It is widely expected that the wicket-keeper batsman will captain the side in next year's IPL edition. The supporters of the franchise will be delighted to welcome back their adoring leader.
Dhoni has always been an integral part of the team and has given a lot of memories with his batting prowess. Let us relive some of his best knocks for CSK.
#5 70*(40) vs RCB, 2011
CSK were in deep trouble after their top four batsmen were dismissed within six overs by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowling attack. In came Dhoni with the scoreboard reading 22/4 in 5.4 overs. They needed a Dhoni special to pull out of this situation.
Dhoni took his time initially before stitching a crucial partnership of 42 runs with Saha. He was running out of partners but he held his innings till the very end and exploded in the final two overs.
The gloveman scored 70 runs off 40 balls with 3 fours and 6 huge sixes. Though CSK lost the match by 8 wickets, it was one of those special knocks by Dhoni, which fans would remember for a very long time.
