NEW DELHI : It has been nearly four years since Mahendra Singh Dhoni quit international cricket, but the 41-year-old continues to deliver the goods for Chennai Super Kings after reinventing himself as a lower-order enforcer with the bat this season.
He masterminded Chennai Super Kings' four successful campaigns in the Indian Premier League and remains immensely popular in Chennai, where people affectionately call him 'Thala', which means 'leader' in Tamil. Although he cannot reprise those knocks of his prime, Dhoni is producing useful cameos, usually at number eight, to help Chennai close in on a playoff berth this season.
Dhoni's average of 48 is second among the Chennai batters and his 204-plus strike rate is higher than that of any of his teammates.
