On a night when the Chennai side appeared strangely determined to underwhelm the 20,000 spectators - most of them waving CSK flags - Dhoni's 16-ball 35, a cameo masterpiece that included four sixes, took the men in yellow to 155/6 in 20 overs.
In the process, Dhoni went past 4,000 career runs in T20s, but whether he should have looked to add to his impressive tally of 4,012 remained a talking point as he came in to bat as low as No. 7.
Perth Scorchers couldn't really get a partnership going and were all out of for 142-7.
Lions ride on Akmal's blitz
Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batsman Umar Akmal produced a mature batting display in a testing situation to help Lahore Lions seal a 16-run win in their Champions League Twenty20 Group A clash against South Africa's Nashua Dolphins at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Saturday.
Akmal's unbeaten 73 (45b, 5x4, 5x6) helped Lions recover from 34/4 in the eighth over to an eventual match-winning total of 164/5 in 20 overs. In reply, Morne van Wyk's winless Dolphins managed 148/9, despite a late fightback from all-rounder Robert Frylinck (63 n.o; 27b, 4x4, 6x6).
Brief scores:
Chennai Super Kings 155-6 (Jadeja 44, Dhoni 35) beat Perth Scorchers 142-7 (Coulter-Nile 30; Ashwin 3-20) by 13 runs; Lahore Lions 164 for 5 (U Akmal 73*, Nasim 43, Frylinck 3-22) beat Dolphins 148 for 9 (Frylinck 63*, Hafeez 2-18) by 16 runs
