MS Dhoni turned back the clock with a blistering 20-run cameo off just 4 balls in the first innings, taking CSK’s total to a formidable 206/4 against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. However, there was another act from the veteran after the innings that stole the show.
As Dhoni made his way back to the dressing room after his blitz, he spotted a young fan in the stands. In a heartwarming gesture, Dhoni, on the run, handed the match ball towards the young girl.
The video of this moment has already gone viral, showcasing Dhoni’s legendary gratifying connection with his fans.
Dhoni hammers Hardik Pandya to 20 runs off 4 balls
Hardik Pandya was having a decent day with the ball as he claimed the wickets of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell. However, MS Dhoni tarnished Pandya’s numbers as he clubbed the MI skipper for three back-to-back sixes to send the Wankhede Stadium into a frenzy.
Dhoni pummeled Pandya over long-off, long-on and deep square leg and finished the innings with 20 runs off four balls. Conversely, Pandya’s spell saw him getting hit for 43 runs at an expensive economy rate of 14.3.
