The ongoing season of the Indian Premier League could potentially mark the final chapter for several cricketing superstars, including the venerable and legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Throughout this season, there have been numerous instances of mutual respect and admiration, exemplifying the spirit of the game. One such poignant moment unfolded during the match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans.

As the teams exchanged handshakes at the conclusion of the game, Mohit Sharma, who had been wearing a cap until that moment, respectfully removed it just before shaking hands with one of India's most illustrious cricket captains, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. 

This gesture resonated deeply with fans, leaving them awestruck and reflecting on the profound impact of Dhoni's legacy in the sport. Mohit Sharma had debuted in both national team as well as franchise league under MS Dhoni.

Facing the challenge of batting first at M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Super Kings showcased their prowess by amassing a formidable total of 206 runs for the loss of six wickets in their allotted 20 overs. 

In pursuit of this target, Gujarat Titans' hopes dwindled significantly after the dismissal of Shubman Gill. The team encountered considerable difficulty in finding boundaries during the middle overs, ultimately succumbing to a defeat by 63 runs.

How is Mohit Sharma performing in the ongoing season?

Mohit Sharma played a vital role for Gujarat Titans in the curtain raiser with his bowling against Mumbai Indians.. He completely turned around the fortunes for his side with wickets in the middle order. 

When Dewald Brevis and Tim David looked to take home the win, the bowler picked wickets and controlled the run flow. Against Chennai Super Kings, Mohit Sharma failed to leave the similar impact as he conceded 36 runs in a quota of four overs, picking one wicket. He will look to amend his ways ahead of the next game.
