In addition to his leadership achievements, Dhoni has also made significant contributions to the field. His cameo appearances with the bat have been crucial for CSK, often swinging the momentum in their favor.
Despite limited opportunities, Dhoni has managed to score 96 runs in just 37 balls this season, showcasing his ability to accelerate the innings when needed.
