MS Dhoni met his old teammate Suresh Raina after the match against Mumbai Indians on May 6. CSK defeated their arch-rivals by six wickets at their home field, MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
After losing the toss, MI batted first and could only score 139/8 thanks to a top-order collapse. CSK eventually chased down the mark in 17.4 overs thanks to the united efforts of its batsmen. MS Dhoni struck the winning runs in the end, giving his devoted fans in the stadium a joyful moment.
CSK used their official Instagram account to share a picture of MS Dhoni’s activities following the completion of the match. Dhoni can be seen exchanging greetings with Suresh Raina. The post was captioned by the Chennai franchise:

“I think it was a very crucial game”- MS Dhoni after the victory against MI
CSK captain MS Dhoni stated on the win during the post-match presentation, saying that it came at a critical time for them, since there is a tight battle among the teams in the middle of the points table. He stated:
“I think it was a very crucial game. If you see the middle part of the points table, it is stacked well. In T20 cricket, you need to have that cushion. It’s not something we can get comfortable with because in the middle, 5/6 teams are on the same points. Last few games, the result have not gone in our favour so it is good to be on the winning side.
MS Dhoni added:
“Frankly, we were slightly doubtful. I wanted to bat first but the think tank together said that there are chances of rain. I was slightly outnumbered and decided to go with the majority. If there’s some kind of a confusion, we sit and talk about it. Ultimately, we decide to go with the majority.”
