MS Dhoni batted at No. 9 for the Chennai Super Kings, but it was too late to make a difference as they lost by 50 runs to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. CSK was chasing a big target of 197 runs and lost wickets again and again. When Shivam Dube got out in the 13th over, fans hoped to see Dhoni come to bat. Instead, R Ashwin joined Ravindra Jadeja. By the time Dhoni finally came out in the 16th over, the match was almost lost. He scored 30 runs off 16 balls, but it didn't help the team's chances of winning the match. Fans were unhappy about Dhoni batting so late and shared their frustrations on social media.
