IPL 2021: Win Against Punjab Kings Makes Dhoni's 200th Match For CSK More Special
MS Dhoni's 200th match for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) turned out to be special as his team put in a commanding performance to thump Punjab Kings by six wickets on Friday night at the Wankhede Stadi
"[It] Makes me feel very good. It has been a very long journey. It started in 2008 -- played in South Africa, UAE, and back home. Never thought Mumbai would be our home," said Dhoni after leading his team to their first win of the 2021 season.
