The Dhoni Sam Curran Masterstroke – To the surprise of the many, Dhoni chose to send young England all-rounder Sam Curran before him. And it proved to be a masterstroke as Curran came in as a pinch-hitter and stamped his authority on the sport.
The first night of the Indian Premier League 2020 saw two former champions taking over one another in Abu Dhabi. Mumbai Indians batted first and scored 162 runs. The match went right down to the last over despite Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis steering the ship for Chennai Super Kings. CSK needed 27 runs off 17 balls when Ravindra Jadeja fell to Krunal Pandya. It seemed like MS Dhoni or Kedar Jadhav will walk on to the crease to ease CSK’s nerves.
But to the surprise of the many, Dhoni chose to send young England all-rounder Sam Curran before him. And it proved to be a masterstroke as Curran came in as a pinch-hitter and stamped his authority on the sport. He smashed two sixes and a four in his first five deliveries to place CSK during a comfortable position.

He fell to Jasprit Bumrah within the second last over but his job was done because the equation got right down to just 10 runs off 10 balls. Dhoni and du Plessis then steered their side home with four balls to spare as CSK opened their IPL 2020 campaign with a win. But what prompted Dhoni to send Curran before him? The player says he was also surprised by the choice while also talking about the changed atmosphere in IPL 2020.
‘I was very surprised that I went in. He (Dhoni) may be a genius and thought something (about sending me before himself). We targeted that over (18th) and sometimes it comes off and sometimes it doesn’t,’ Curran said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Curran also performed well with the ball as he took one wicket and gave just 28 runs in his quota of 4 overs. CSK will now play Rajasthan Royals on September 22.

Meanwhile MS Dhoni’s New Look took the web by storm during Chennai Super Kings’ IPL 2020 match against four-time champions Mumbai Indians. While fans were thrilled with the return of MS Dhoni back on the cricketing pitch, tons of them were surprised to ascertain how muscular their beloved Thala has become during the COVID-19 lockdown. before the IPL 2020, Dhoni had announced his retirement from international cricket.
However, during the match, MS Dhoni’s New Look was being compared to Tamil actor Suriya’s look as Inspector Duraisingham within the 2010 blockbuster film Singham. On closer look, it’d seem that the comparisons could be similar.
