MS Dhoni’s impact in the IPL goes beyond just playing the game. In a match between MI and RCB, with the result already decided, Sherfane Rutherford channeled Dhoni’s spirit and hit nine sixes, making the dead game feel alive again. This is the Dhoni effect – making a match memorable even in defeat. Rutherford’s innings paid tribute to Dhoni’s resilience and never-say-die attitude.
