The MA Chidambaram Stadium saw yet another glimpse of the vintage MS Dhoni on Wednesday. The CSK captain punished Khaleel Ahmed in the 19th over after his team batted first against Delhi Capitals.

On being asked, about batting at a strike-rate of over 200 despite getting to face only a few balls, Dhoni said that post match presentation: "This is what my job is.
