MS Dhoni vs RCB stats: The former captain of Chennai Super Kings will be playing his 32nd match against this opposition tonight.

With defending champions Chennai Super Kings in a never-seen-before position, former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will have to contribute in some way or the other in their next match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Navi Mumbai tonight.

In four IPL 2022 innings, Dhoni has scored 92 runs at an average and strike rate of 46 and 117.94 respectively including a half-century. Not just score runs but score them quickly, a dejected squad will look up to Dhoni to guide them to a victory after four consecutive losses this season.
