Watch: 'Lightning Fast' MS Dhoni Affects Classy Run Out Of RR Star

MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings would not have been wrong had someone told them that the four-time IPL champions were playing a home match against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. Fans turned up in huge numbers to show their 'yellove' for CSK and Dhoni. And the legend gave them several occasions to cheer. Apart from masterminding the CSK attack, Dhoni also affected a brilliant runout with a singular effort. It came on the fourth ball of the last over of RR's innings as Dhoni ran out Dhruv Jurel. After Matheesha Pathirana bowled a wide delivery, Dhoni dived to his right to collect the ball and affected the run-out with an accurate throw.
