IPL: 4 times when MS Dhoni was the lone fighter in CSK's defeat

Enter ca — MS Dhoni has scored 3346 runs for the CSK in the IPL.

#2 51* off 26 balls vs Mumbai Indians in 2013

The Mumbai Indians have managed to keep the CSK quite on many occasions. However, there is one nut they have found tough to crack and that is none other than MSD!

In the opening encounter of 2013, the CSK batting line-up showed vulnerability after the bowlers restricted the MI to a partly 148. Just when it seemed things could get worse, Dhoni stepped in.

At 66/5. Dhoni started taking the attack to the opposition and kept the CSK in the hunt till the very last over. Unfortunately, he couldn't finish it off and departed after scoring 51 off 26 deliveries. Had the rest of the batting showed some support, this would have been an easy run chase.

Brief scores: MI 148/6 (Pollard 57*, Karthik 37; Bravo 2/44) beat CSK 139/8 (Dhoni 51, Hussey 20; M Patel 3/29) by 9 runs.
