Watch Virat Kohli’s Incredible Response to Dinesh Karthik’s Explanation of MS Dhoni’s Impact on RCB’s Victory

In a thrilling encounter between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings in the virtual knockout match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, MS Dhoni’s explosive batting failed to secure a victory for CSK. With 17 runs needed from the last over, Dhoni smashed a massive six off the first ball, reducing the target to just 11 runs from 5 balls. However, the six had an unexpected consequence as it resulted in the ball getting lost, prompting officials to provide RCB with a new one.

Dinesh Karthik, in a video shared by RCB on social media, humorously pointed out that Dhoni’s six inadvertently helped RCB by giving them a new ball. Virat Kohli also acknowledged the impact of the new ball on the game. With the dew making the old ball wet, Yash Dayal found better control with the new ball and managed to dismiss Dhoni on the second delivery of the over.

Dayal’s tight bowling in the final over, including a crucial wicket of Dhoni, helped RCB secure a 27-run victory and qualify for the playoffs. Unfortunately for CSK, Dhoni’s dismissal proved to be the turning point as they fell short of the target. With this result, RCB advanced to the playoffs while CSK’s journey in the IPL 2024 came to an end. The match showcased the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket and the fine margins that can determine the outcome of a game.
