He exchanged a handshake and a hug skipper Gaikwad. Dhoni, who was behind the CSK captain, though, 'refused' to shake hands with the bowling coach and instead briefly scared the former West Indian all-rounder by pretending to hit him.

MS Dhoni took a brilliant diving catch to dismiss Vijay Shankar in CSK vs GT IPL 2024 game

While Dhoni did not get a chance to bat, he had his moment in the game when he took a brilliant diving catch to dismiss Vijay Shankar in the eighth over of Gujarat Titans' chase.

In pursuit of 207, GT had lost captain Shubman Gill for 8 and Wriddhiman Saha for 21 to slip to 34-2. They needed a partnership for the third wicket, but Dhoni's brilliance behind the stumps denied them that.

Shankar drove at a delivery from Daryl Mitchell outside off stump but only managed a thick edge. Dhoni, aged 42, dived full length to his right and pulled off a spectacular catch to send Shankar on his way.

Gujarat Titans could never recover from the early setbacks and fell way short of their target.

Sai Sudharsan top-scored with 37 off 31, but no other GT batter crossed the 30-run mark. David Miller was dismissed for 21, while Azmatullah Omarzai fell for 11 and Rahul Tewatia for 6.
