Significantly, Chennai Super Kings batsmen were flopped in the match against RCB. In such a situation, Chennai fans had high expectations from Dhoni. When Shivam Dubey was out on a total score of 80, everyone felt that Dhoni would now enter the field. At that time the required run rate was around 15 and it was expected that Dhoni would turn the match in favor of CSK with his banging batting.
Shortly before this, Dhoni was also seen on the TV screen, in which he was practicing with the bat in his hand. This also made people felt that Dhoni would come to batting when the next wicket fell. But this did not happen and he came to bat for a long time.
