CSK skipper and legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni showcased his amazing finishing skills to help his side go over the line against LSG to win the game by 5 wickets. The game was played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, April 14. Dhoni played a blistering unbeaten cameo of 26 runs off just 11 balls, with 11 fours and a six.
Besides that, what caught the attention was Dhoni’s one-handed six off LSG pacer Shardul Thakur on the last ball of the 17th over in the second innings. The moment came when Thakur bowled a slower one, but it happened to dip in Dhoni’s swinging arc, and the latter didn’t make any mistake in smashing it for a six towards the square leg boundary.
The video of MS Dhoni’s stunning one-handed six off Shardul Thakur also went viral on social media when the official broadcasters shared it on their official X handle (formerly Twitter).
