Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a household name in the Indian Premier League. Over the years, he has played an important role in Chennai Super Kings’ success. The legendary batsman has led CSK to not just one but three elusive IPL titles. One of the best finishers in the cricketing fraternity, Dhoni is best known for his impeccable batting skills and intelligence on the field. Under his leadership, CSK have become one of the most successful franchises in IPL. In his glorious IPL career, Dhoni has played 204 matches so far and notched up 4632 runs at an average of more than 40, including 23 fifties. On that note, let’s take a look at the most memorable knocks of MS Dhoni in IPL.

1. 54* VS KINGS XI PUNJAB IN 2010

This was probably one of the best innings played by MS Dhoni in his early phase of IPL. In the must-win clash against Kumar Sangakkara-led Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), the CSK skipper went on to play a captain’s knock and slammed 54 runs off just 29 balls to take his side over the line.

Dhoni’s unbeaten knock led CSK to a memorable knock in Dharamshala.

With 16 required off the last over, the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman took just four deliveries to wrap up the chase as he hit Irfan Pathan for two huge sixes.
