Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are currently locking horns with each other in a low-scoring contest at the Wankhede stadium in the season opener of IPL 2022. MS Dhoni showcased his football skills during the match after Ajinkya Rahane missed a slog against a good length delivery outside off.
KKR is facing the defending champions CSK in the tournament opener of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. It was a new start for CSK as the team started its campaign under the leadership of Ravindra Jadeja. KKR won the toss and opted to bowl first. They reduced the opposition to 61/5 at one stage but a partnership between MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja helped them put a decent total on the scoreboard.

MS Dhoni was in his vintage version scoring unbeaten 50 runs from 38 balls. He created another remarkable moment as he showcased his soccer skills during the KKR innings. On the fifth ball of the fourth over by Adam Milne to Ajinkya Rahane, the latter tried to play a slog against a good-length delivery outside off-stump. Rahane failed to connect the shot well and MS Dhoni juggled the ball with his foot.
