Zaheer Khan and Robin Uthappa were left in awe of MS Dhoni’s cameo in LSG vs CSK

For CSK, MS Dhoni once again demonstrated his incredible batting ability, inspiring adoration from cricket greats Robin Uthappa and Zaheer Khan. At the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, fans were treated to an explosive display by Dhoni as he scored 28 runs off of just 9 balls, despite LSG's ultimate triumph by 8 wickets.

As Dhoni unleashed his power hitting, which included a massive 101-meter six that left onlookers in disbelief, the audience shouted with joy. Even Quinton de Kock's wife admitted that as Dhoni went into the crease, the noise level shot up to ninety-five decibels. Speaking to JioCinema, Zaheer noted how much strain Dhoni puts on bowlers with every innings, expressing amazement at his ability to consistently improve. Dhoni's influence on the game is still evident, and both players and fans admire his skill and tenacity. Speaking about MS Dhoni, Zaheer Khan said: 

"The roar is getting bigger and better and louder, and so is MS Dhoni's presence there out on the field. He's just getting better and better with every inning that he's playing and just the sheer impact of him, just unbelievable to see him go out there and put this kind of pressure on the bowlers, just phenomenal,"

Robin Uthappa emphasised Dhoni's unwavering talent and said that his fitness might be the only thing standing in his way. Uthappa did stress, though, that Dhoni's cricketing intelligence is still keen and inventive. Uthappa highlights Dhoni's versatility and dedication to remaining at the top of the game by saying that the experienced cricketer's mind is constantly looking for new methods to perform well on the pitch. Speaking on MS Dhoni, Robin Uthappa said: 

"Well, I think the only thing that's stopping him is his health. I think his fitness will be the only thing that stops him from playing any further. He loves the game. He's deeply passionate about it and wants to continue playing it. But if if there's anything that will stop him, I think it will be his own body. That will probably give way because the mind is there. The mind is innovating. The mind is staying up to date. He's like, Oh, everyone's playing the ramp shot. I can do it too,"
