Thursday’s washout in Hyderabad meant that Sunrisers Hyderabad joined Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals as the three confirmed teams for the playoffs and the race is now for only one spot with two teams in fray -- CSK and RCB.
Dhoni had come to bat when CSK were tottering at 28 for 4 in 5.5 overs in a bid to chase 162 runs. The CSK skipper played a valiant unbeaten knock of 84 runs off 48 balls laced with five fours and seven sixes.
There has been a lot of speculations revolving around Dhoni’s future because neither has he made himself available for selection nor has he announced his retirement since July 2019.
