MS Dhoni’s second game back in charge in the IPL 2022 will be up against Royal Challengers Bangalore, which features his one-time successor Virat Kohli. Dhoni, who gave up CSK captaincy ahead IPL 2022, took back the reigns from Ravindra Jadeja for the benefit of the team.

Meanwhile, Kohli had given up RCB’s leadership role at the end of IPL 2021 season. CSK are near the bottom of the IPL 2022 Points Table – in ninth place – and need to win all of their remaining five games if they hope to make the Playoffs stage.

Dhoni has been impressive with the bat this season, scoring 140 runs in 9 games including one fifty at a strike-rate of over 132. The former India captain has also hit 5 sixes in the IPL 2022 and now needs only six more maximums to complete 200 sixes with the bat for CSK.
