As described by coach Stephen Fleming, the heartbeat of Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni celebrated a major milestone with his teammates after beating Punjab Kings in the IPL. Dhoni cut a cake in the dressing room at the Wankhede cricket stadium after playing his 200th match for the yellow brigade. The win against Punjab also made it extra special as CSK opened their account in IPL 2021 with a thumping victory. Dhoni is the 2nd cricketer after Rohit Sharma to play 200 games or more in IPL and now-defunct Champions League T20.
