Calls for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to bat higher up the order have amplified following his explosive performance against the Delhi Capitals. Despite Dhoni's unbeaten 37 off 16 balls at number eight, the Chennai Super Kings fell short by two runs against Rishabh Pant's squad. Dhoni's memorable cameo against the Delhi Capitals featured a commanding six over extra-cover, followed by a one-handed maximum over mid-wicket in the 20th over. The 42-year-old, who last represented India in 2019, underwent knee surgery last year.
