In the final over of the Chennai Super Kings' innings, fans went crazy as Mahendra Singh Dhoni thrilled the raucous Wankhede Stadium audience with a barrage of sixes during Sunday's Match 29 of the Indian Premier League.
After Daryll Mitchell was dismissed, Dhoni entered the bat in the final over, causing everyone to stand and cheer as the cricket great walked slowly to the middle of the field. After that, he turned his weapons on Pandya, hitting him for three straight sixes to push CSK's score beyond 200 runs.
Following his explosive knock of 20 off 4, Dhoni was observed running off the field. But when he ascended the renowned Wankhede Stadium, Dhoni paused to give one of the match balls he crashed into the stands to a little kid who was standing by the fence to see the legendary cricket player.
Doni's record in 20th over
As Dhoni elevated his late-overs hitting numbers to new heights, his incredible mythology only grew. Throughout his IPL career, the former captain of CSK has hit 64 sixes in the 20th over. In the 20th overs in IPL matches, the wicketkeeper-batter has hit 756 runs off of 309 deliveries faced.
