#3 65 (30) vs RCB, 2008

Dhoni hit 9 fours and 3 sixes during his knock — Dhoni pelted RCB's bowlers with nine fours and three sixes

This was the first encounter between RCB and CSK in the inaugural season of IPL. CSK were batting first on flat track of Chinnaswamy stadium and a high scoring contest was on the cards.

CSK had a decent start. They were stationed at 82-3 in 12.3 overs when Dhoni came in to bat. It was the perfect time for an onslaught and their captain was the ideal player to do the job. He duly scored his maiden IPL fifty from just 24 balls.

Dhoni smashed Dale Steyn for 24 runs in the 19th over. Zaheer was taken apart for two fours and a six in last over of the innings. Eventually, CSK won by 13 runs and Dhoni was awarded the MOM award for his match winning performance.
