When Dhoni’s bat speaks, people say – Mahi is hitting. But, in Visakhapatnam, Mahi was not only killing, the atmosphere was also changing. Dhoni seemed to be changing that environment and in no time he broke the 16 year old record of IPL. Even in CSK’s defeat, what was seen in his batting not only won the hearts of his loved ones like always, but his opponents also became Dhoni’s admirers.

The change in the atmosphere in Visakhapatnam had started from the moment Dhoni walked towards the crease with the bat in his hand for the first time in IPL 2024. Eager to get a glimpse of Dhoni batting, the stadium bathed in the yellow sea gave a warm welcome to its favorite hero. The interesting thing is that Dhoni also greeted that welcome by hitting a four on the very first ball. Due to Dhoni’s intensity in batting, the noise of the stadium was seen reaching its record level in the noise meter.

The effect of this innings of Dhoni was that CSK fans even forgot their team’s defeat. For them, the movement of Dhoni’s bat was a moment worth paying for. While entertaining his fans present in the stadium, Dhoni also broke the 16 year old record in IPL.
