CSK vs GT, IPL 2024: MS Dhoni put up a remarkable display of reflexes behind the stumps as he rolled back years with an incredible catch during Chennai Super Kings' match against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, March 26.
While CSK picked a comfortable win of 63 runs over Titans in match 7 of the IPL 2024, Dhoni's stunning catch was one of the most notable moments of the match.
