MS Dhoni and his Chennai Super Kings teammates had a day to forget against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. The defending champions had arrived in Mumbai on the back of three consecutive wins this season and were the only unbeaten team in the league so far. However, not much went right for Dhoni and his men as Mumbai Indians thrashed them by 37 runs.

Chasing 171, Chennai Super Kings could only manage 133 for 8. The Super Kings were off to a disastrous manner and lost both their openers cheaply. Jason Behrendorff accounted for Ambati Rayudu in the very first over before Lasith Malinga sent back Shane Watson in the second to leave Chennai Super Kings reeling at 6 for 2.  Suresh Raina and Kedar Jadhav then stopped the rot for a while. But just when it looked like they had their eyes set, Kieron Pollard pulled off a breathtaking catch to send back Raina for 16.

Jadhav kept going strong while holding firm from one end but the likes of MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja failed to get going. Consequently, Chennai Super Kings found themselves 5 down for just 89. The Super Kings eventually ended on 133 to suffer their first defeat of the season.

Earlier in the game, Mumbai Indians recovered from a poor start to post a challenging total of 170 for 5.  Mumbai Indians were 50 for 3 at one stage and then found themselves 125 for 5 at the end of the 18th over. However, Hardik Pandya along with Kieron Pollard completely changed the complexion of the game with a whirlwind fifty. The two added 45 runs from the last two overs.

But despite the heavy loss, MS Dhoni won hearts all over with a beautiful gesture. Soon after the loss, the former India skipper came running down the stairs of the Wankhede with a big smile to meet one of her eldest fans.  A senior lady was waiting desperately for MS Dhoni with a placard in her hand and Dhoni did not disappoint her. He interacted with her, shook her hands, took a selfie and also talked with a young girl who was with her to make her fan’s day.

Here is a clip of that beautiful video:
