The incident unfolded in the 18th over bowled by Lockie Ferguson, with CSK needing a daunting 220 for victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"547\" data-end=\"883\">On ball 17.3, Ferguson delivered a very full, leg-stump delivery that Dhoni missed while attempting a powerful heave. The ball struck his back leg, prompting a strong <strong data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"751\">LBW appeal from Prabhsimran Singh<\/strong> behind the stumps. However, umpire Abhijit Bhattacharya ruled it <strong data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"828\">not out<\/strong>, with replays confirming <strong data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"871\">umpire\u2019s call<\/strong> on hitting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"1213\">But what almost cost CSK was <strong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"960\">Dhoni\u2019s casual running between the wickets<\/strong>. As the ball trickled to short third man, Marcus Stoinis swooped in with a direct-hit attempt. Dhoni, assuming no chance of a run-out, was seen <strong data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1137\">jogging instead of sprinting<\/strong>. Replays revealed he was just inches short when the ball missed the stumps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1476\">The missed direct-hit proved crucial. At the time, Dhoni was on 9 and has since powered his way to <strong data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1332\">20 off 9 balls<\/strong>, striking at over 222. His survival has kept CSK alive in the chase, now needing <strong data-start=\"1414\" data-end=\"1437\">35 runs off 8 balls<\/strong> with Ravindra Jadeja at the other end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1628\">With pressure mounting and the clock ticking, <strong data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1569\">Dhoni\u2019s escape could be the turning point<\/strong> in a chase that continues to thrill fans across the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a heart-stopping moment during the 22nd match of IPL 2025, MS Dhoni narrowly escaped a run-out scare that could\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":42416,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-22126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-ms-dhoni"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
