IPL 2023: “Heartbreaking,” Irfan Pathan pained to see MS Dhoni limp between the wickets

Irfan Pathan took to Twitter to say that it was “heartbreaking” to see MS Dhoni limp while running between the wickets in CSK versus DC IPL 2023 match

Irfan Pathan shared his considerations after Chennai Super Rulers (CSK) captain MS Dhoni was seen limping while at the same time running during their IPL 2023 match against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at Chepauk on Wednesday.

Pathan wrote on Twitter that seeing MS Dhoni limp while running between the wickets was “heartbreaking.”

During his nine-ball, 20-run innings, Dhoni gave glimpses of his glorious past, rewinding the clock. In the midst of raucous applause from the packed Chepauk crowd, he came out to bat when CSK were struggling at 126/6.

The legendary cricketer didn’t get disheartened. In the 19th over that was bowled by Khaleel Ahmed, he hit two sixes and a boundary to give CSK the much-needed momentum at the end. Despite the fact that he is recovering from a knee injury, he chose not to convert the ones into twos.

Dhoni has been struggling with a knee issue starting from the beginning of IPL 2023 and the team management is dealing with the issue. The CSK skipper hasn’t missed any match because of the knee issue and looks set to play the total season.
