MS Dhoni: Champions League to return in 2026
MS Dhoni: The men’s T20 Champions League, which was last played in 2014, is all set to return in September 2026 under the proposed name of World Club Championship. The ICC and other boards like BCCI and ECB are showing faith in the revival of the league to bring together title-winning franchises like IPL, BBL, PSL, South Africa 20 and The Hundred.
MS Dhoni: Meanwhile, the video that has surfaced is from the tenth match of the 2013 Champions League, which was played between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ranchi. In this match, Dhoni had scored 63 runs off just 19 balls including five sixes in a single over of Perera.
The 18th over of the innings started with a wide, followed by a 92-metre long six straight to the sightscreen, and this was followed by another wide delivery from the Sri Lankan player. After this, Dhoni, after taking a double, hit four sixes in the direction of fine leg, deep point, wide long-on and an upper cut, which was the fifth six of the over.

A total of 34 runs were conceded in the over, with the home player remaining unbeaten on 63* off just 19 balls with the help of one four and eight sixes. His innings played a vital role in helping Chennai Super Kings post 202/4 in 20 overs, which eventually helped them beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 12 runs. Suresh Raina received the Player of the Match award for his 84 runs and a wicket, while Dhoni’s innings in the last over caught everyone’s attention.
Dhoni said in a post-match interview, “As the match progressed, the wicket got very good. Later there was more dew on the ground and the ball was coming on well. I tried to hit and it worked. I think credit goes to the wicket. As you see these days, boundaries are not very long in T20. It was very entertaining for the people of Ranchi and the support of the people for Chennai Super Kings was also tremendous.”
