Watch: MS Dhoni Enthrals Fans With Brilliant Game Awareness Against Delhi Daredevils

There are very few cricketers in this world who are as smart and cool as MS Dhoni under pressure situation. The 36-year old has time and again showed that his street-smart approach. His out of the box thinking has left everyone impressed. His game awareness and unusual has yielded brilliant results more often than not. He keeps enthralling his fans displaying his astute cricketing skills.

The same was on show on Monday when Chennai Super Kings were taking on Delhi Daredevils. During the 15th over of the innings, Dhoni did something which can be expected only from him. Avesh Khan bowled one which hit Dhoni on the pads and the ball fell just in front of him. Sensing an opportunity, the ever-ready Dhoni set off for a single. In the meantime, Avesh went to collect the ball and fancied a chance at the non-striker’s end. However, Dhoni as usual was too quick and his cause was also helped by the bowler’s wayward throw. But amidst all this, Dhoni displayed his brilliant game awareness. While running towards the danger end, Dhoni was seen covering his back with one of his hands. He did it to protect himself but luckily the throw was too far from his body.
