IPL 2022: In numbers - MS Dhoni, an IPL colossus, a legendary finisher

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is at the crease, wielding his willow like a sword, decimating the bowlers and sending the ball to all parts of the ground, taking his team to victory, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Over the years, we have seen MSD the finisher at his very best.

The 2011 ICC ODI World Cup final, where he pushed himself ahead of the in-form Yuvraj Singh and then finished off the match with that unforgettable six is something no Indian fan will ever forget. In the IPL too, Dhoni has time and again played incredible finishing knocks, both while his team batted first and chased.

Though his bat fell silent over the last couple of seasons, a rejuvenated Dhoni, devoid of the responsibility of captaincy, is once again setting the IPL stage on fire this time and keeping CSK's very slim chances of qualifying for the playoffs alive.
