Xtra Time Web Desk: Mahendra Singh Dhoni batted after 307 days on Sunday, 31^st March. But no individual who was lucky enough to witness the spectacle could say that the 42-year-old legend displayed any signs of discomfort while playing that explosive 16-ball 37-run (not out) innings. What made the innings more special was Captain Cool’s visionary tactic, as he knew that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) could not win this match, but he kept hitting those beautiful sixes to finish as close as possible to the target.

However, the cricket fans got a scare after they saw Dhoni limping after the stormy innings. he was facing trouble in walking wearing an ice cap on his left calf muscle while clicking selfies with his fans. The CSK fans expressed concern over the video as they don't want Dhoni to sit out of IPL 2024, which is expectedly his last season of the tournament.

Following the match, Dhoni was approached by a few Vizag groundstaff before he gathered the rest as well and posed for a photograph with them. The touching gesture went viral on social media, but a video of the moment showed the 42-year-old in absolute discomfort as he limped towards the groundsmen, wearing an ice pack on his left calf muscle.

For his brilliant knock at the Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam not only impressed everyone but also made him the “Electric Striker" of the DC vs CSK match. The veteran batters were perplexed with MS Dhoni's innings and questioned if he was really 42 years old.
