Indian multinational conglomerate Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra lauded Chennai Super Kings (CSK) talisman MS Dhoni’s finishing skills. Even at the age of 40, Dhoni still holds the charisma of turning the game with his acumen presence on the field.

The former Indian and CSK captain’s fans once again witnessed Dhoni’s greatest finish in the game as CSK defeated arch-rivals Mumbai Indians by three wickets in a thrilling encounter at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.

While chasing 156 runs in the second innings, CSK needed 17 runs in the final over. MI pacer Jaydev Unadkat trapped Dwaine Pretorious before the wickets on the first ball to give his team hope of opening their account in the IPL 2022 points table.

But after Dwayne Bravo brought CSK talisman Dhoni on the strike, the 40-year-old nullified the Mumbai Indians’ plans with his insurmountable experience on the field.
