Here is a list of the top 5 memorable batting performance of MS Dhoni:<\/p>\n
1. 2010 CSK vs KXIP \u2013 54 not out (29 balls)<\/p>\n
With CSK\u2019s ticket to reservation for the semifinal on the list, MS Dhoni created a skipper\u2019s knock. Hunting 193, CSK was left with 16 to get in the final over bowled by Irfan Pathan. Dhoni crashed a four before hitting two massive sixes to victory for his team. He knocked his own jaw after hitting the conquering six that determined how much the achievement of winning meant to him.<\/p>\n

2. 2016 CSK vs KXIP \u2013 64 not out (49 balls)<\/p>\n
Dhoni\u2019s innings was a precious highlight in a mediocre season where Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) was not too strong. Requiring 23 from the final over resembled a big assignment, but the comparison became more challenging when it boiled down to 12 from 2. But Dhoni strengthened himself and sent Axar Patel\u2019s last two balls for huge sixes to end RPS\u2019 turn on a high in 2016.<\/p>\n

3. 2012 MI vs CSK \u2013 51 not out (20 balls)<\/p>\n
This innings is yet a different model of Dhoni\u2019s big-match mentality. Batting opening in the eliminator facing Mumbai Indians in 2012, CSK set an aim of 187 after Captain Dhoni cracked 51 not out off 20 balls facing an attack initiated by Lasith Malinga, who was in his prime then. Subsequently, MI failed to reach the objective goal and CSK won the match.<\/p>\n

4. 2019 RR vs CSK -75 not out (46 balls)<\/p>\n
While Dhoni was not at the peak as a batsman, he proved that he could still convey the goods when CSK required his assistance. Dhoni appeared to the crease when his team was stumbling at 27 for 3 while batting first. He orchestrated 75 not out and demonstrated how to build an innings on a sluggish pitch. Throughout the course of his innings, he was able to crack four sixes.<\/p>\n

5. 2018 RCB vs CSK \u2013 70 not out (34 balls)<\/p>\n
Routing 206 upon Virat Kohli\u2019s RCB in Bengaluru, it resembled like Dhoni had left himself too much to do when CSK demanded 45 runs off the last 18 balls. But Dhoni had timed the chase to supremacy. He was simply delivering to capitalize on the weaker bowlers \u2014 Mohammed Siraj and Corey Anderson \u2014 and promoted his power-hitting skills again to win the match for his team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
