MS Dhoni Chases Mumbai Indians Star With Bat In Hand. Video Breaks The Internet

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the most successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), having won five titles each. However, both sides are going through a recent slump, failing to qualify for the playoffs last season, and currently sit in the bottom half of the points table. While MI are seventh with six points, CSK sit rock bottom with just two wins so far. CSK beat MI when the two sides met earlier this season, but that win came under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad.

With Gaikwad ruled out for the rest of the season, CSK icon MS Dhoni has stepped in as captain. In two matches, he has won one and lost as many games.

"Not sure what it's going to play like (against Chennai) but we speak as a unit, adapting as fast as we can. Traditionally, it is a very good wicket so if it is like that, it's (about) getting in and out of overs.

"If it is like that, we know how to
