MS Dhoni won the “Player of the Match” after 2100 days, what he said after winning the prestigious award
Six years later, this is Dhoni’s first “player” award in the IPL. The last time the cool team won the championship was in 2019 against RR on March 31, when he scored 75 points.
Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni was surprised after being named a player after defeating the Lucknow Super Giants on Monday. Dhoni’s amazing performance included 26 runs with just 11 balls, with 4 boundaries and 6 balls, ending up in an exciting chase. His outstanding performance made him the difference to be the oldest player in IPL history to win a game award.
However, this is the first “Game Player” award Dhoni won in the IPL six years later. The last time Kuku won this championship was in 2019 He scored 75 in the match against RR on March 31.
Despite winning the game six years later, Dhoni questioned why he won the game prize when left arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad beat the Lucknow Super Giants (IPL) in five wins with five tickets.
“Even today, I wonder, why do they give me this award? I think Noor Ahmad plays well. New bowling and the game between Noor and Jaddu, they know, they’re like four or five pairings, together. It’s two spans.
At the same time, for this high octane conflict Lucknow Super Giants, CSK made two changes to their match XI. One side brought Jamie Overton and Shaik Rasheed, not Devon Conway and Ravicandran Ashwin.
Dhoni explained to ignore Ashwin’s decision and said: “We actually put too much pressure on the ashes. He had to do two knockouts on the wicket where he didn’t do a lot of things, and the batsmen were just expressing themselves. We made some changes and we could get more bowlers who could bowl in the first six.”
This is CSK’s second victory in TATA IPL 2025. Now, Dhoni-LED MS will be on April 20 with the Mumbai Indians led by Hardik Pandya and the Indians led by Hardik Pandya.
