In a stunning display of skill, MS Dhoni shook up the cricket world with a remarkable shot that sailed for six during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Dhoni, known for his trademark batting style, surprised everyone with an unconventional shot that saw the ball sail over the wicketkeeper’s head.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni showcased his batting prowess with an unbeaten 28 runs off just 9 balls, contributing significantly to CSK’s total of 176/6 in their allotted 20 overs. His innings included a variety of shots, including a four and a six off Mohsin, followed by another maximum off Thakur. The final over saw Dhoni smashing two more fours, accumulating 19 runs in total.
