Reason Revealed for MS Dhoni wearing orange colored gloves

The name MS Dhoni doesn’t need any introduction, as the 40 year old has been a huge name in the annals of cricket for a long time. Ever since he made his debut for India on December 1st, 2004 against Bangladesh, he has gone from strength to strength. He became India’s most successful captain of all times, with the ICC T20 world cup 2007, ICC 50 – over world cup and 2013 champions trophy. He also led India to the world number 1 status in test cricket for the first time in 2009.

The story as it happened –

MS Dhoni last week shocked the world when he gave up his CSK captaincy just 48 hours before the start of TATA IPL 2022. Ravindra Jadeja was named the new captain and Dhoni for the first time in his CSK career was playing as a regular member of the team. The fans were quick to note MSD wearing orange color gloves during the season opening game against KKR on Saturday. Finally the reason has been revealed for the reason behind this move.

 The answer is simple when MSD started playing for India he used to keep wickets with SS provided gloves which were yellow in color. Towards the end of his career he wanted to go back to the same kit in a bid to say thanks to his kit providers in his initial years.

Dhoni’s bat still breathes fire –

MS Dhoni showed his talents with the bat with an impressive showing against KKR on Saturday. Walking into bat at 61 for 5, the former India and CSK skipper was slow to begin with as he scored mere 15 runs from 25 balls. It was during the end of the innings that he raced on with the bat. Dhoni finished with 50 runs from 38 balls with 7 fours and a six. His knock helped Chennai reach 131 on the board, which wasn’t enough for the defending champs. KKR who were the runners-up last year chased down the target with 6 wickets in hand and nine balls left in the innings. Rahane top scored with 44, as Nitish Rana scored 21, captain Iyer was not out on 20 and Sam Billings to scored an impressive 25.
