The 24-year-old dynamo from Delhi unleashed one of the most electrifying innings in the tournament’s history, scoring a blistering 103 off just 42 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Speculation about Dhoni's retirement from the Indian Premier League T20 tournament was heightened by the presence of his family, including his parents -- a rarity.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium witnessed a rare and emotional moment as MS Dhoni’s entire family—wife Sakshi, daughter Ziva, and for the first time ever, his parents Pan Singh and Devaki Devi—gathered to support him during the IPL 2025 clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC)
“Dhoni is like my father, because of the support and the mentorship and the guidance he is giving me when I'm in CSK,” said the 22-year-old tearaway quick. “It’s very similar to what my father did in my home. That’s why I consider Dhoni my cricketing father.”
Bangladesh pace sensation Nahid Rana and 11 others from the country were named in the final auction list of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League, starting next year.
When Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman took part in his first T20 World Cup, he was still in his first year in international cricket. He came into the 2016 T20 World as a prodigious talent, having already bamboozled some of the biggest stars in world cricket.
"What a night! Such a great atmosphere," player of the match Du Plessis, who did a lap of honour with his team for the home fans, said.
Five-time champions Chennai restricted Rajasthan to 141-5, a total they overhauled with five wickets and 10 balls to spare in their last home game at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
“After my father, in my cricket life, he [Dhoni] plays my father’s role,” said Pathirana.

“Thanks for everything Mahi [Dhoni] bhai,” Mustafizur wrote on Facebook in the caption of a photo where he was receiving a signed CSK jersey from Dhoni.
