Many said he was over, but come IPL 20118 and he has come in a different league altogether. He is seeing them well and striking them even better.

With three half centuries already to his name, Mahi is making IPL 2018 his own. In the league match against KKR, as Dhoni did it again for his team after a little wobbly start, twitter exploded with tweets about their legend.

The support for #CSK on the road has been one of the events of #IPL2018 for me. Much of it is down to the Dhoni factor. Only comparison I can think of is Sachin & #MI in #IPL1 back in 2008

A minute ago it was 3.3M viewing in Hotstar. Thala walks in and it’s suddenly 4.5M. #Dhoni #CSK #WhistlePodu #KKRvCSK pic.twitter.com/SSGo0bxScF

Don’t know if it’s the Yellow jersey or what, but MS DHONI of old is certainly back in this IPL. Sixes at will!

MS Dhoni becomes the second batsman to hit 150-plus sixes for CSK in IPL after Suresh Raina. #KKRvCSK

Theory: Dhoni’s improved hitting on the off side has led to this resurgence.
That wide off stump line isn’t as effective as it used to be, which is causing bowlers to bowl more to his traditional hitting areas.
It’s been fun, and spectacular to watch.
