'Dhoni Review System' Returns: Umpire Reverses 'Dhoni Review System' Returns: Umpire Forced to Reverse Decision

MS Dhoni's connection with Chennai continues to captivate fans. Every time Dhoni steps onto the field at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for Chennai Super Kings, the atmosphere electrifies, as witnessed during Tuesday's match against Lucknow Super Giants. When Dhoni arrived to bat in the final over, the stadium erupted with excitement, especially when he struck a boundary.

However, the highlight moment came during CSK's bowling stint. In the 13th over, umpire called a wide on a delivery to Marcus Stoinis bowled by Tushar Deshpande. Dhoni, with his astute judgment, signaled for the DRS (Dhoni Review System), challenging the decision. Dhoni's call proved correct, leading to the reversal of the wide call. This incident sparked a flurry of 'Dhoni Review System' memes across the internet.

Despite delivering brief cameos in the IPL over the past few years, Dhoni's contributions remain impactful and cherished by fans. His statistics this season reflect his prowess, with 87 runs scored across five innings, maintaining an unbeaten streak each time. Notably, Dhoni boasts an impressive strike rate of 255.88, including seven fours and eight sixes.

Dhoni's proficiency in the final over of innings is remarkable, having scored 772 runs in 313 balls throughout his IPL career, with a strike rate exceeding 246. This season alone, he has accumulated 57 runs off just 16 balls in the final overs, with an outstanding strike rate of 356.25.

Remarkably, Dhoni leads the pack in terms of strike rate during overs 16-20, surpassing both emerging talents and seasoned T20 specialists. Despite facing only 34 balls this season, all during death overs, Dhoni maintains the highest boundary percentage of 87.30% during overs 16-20, outshining fellow cricketers like Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russell.
