Witness MS Dhoni’s Spectacular One-Handed Six Against Anrich Nortje: In December 2022, Rishabh Pant faced a setback due to a serious car accident, temporarily sidelining him from the game. However, his impressive return in IPL 2024, particularly during the match against Chennai Super Kings in Vizag, showcased his regained form with the bat.
Leading the Delhi Capitals, Pant exhibited a stellar performance, scoring 51 runs off just 32 balls, including 5 fours and 3 sixes. His triumphant comeback was met with jubilation from fans and the cricket fraternity alike. Despite losing 5 wickets, the Delhi Capitals posted a formidable total of 191 runs.
In response, the Chennai Super Kings, despite their recent winning streak, fell short, managing only 171 runs and losing 6 wickets. MS Dhoni’s notable contribution of 37 runs off 16 deliveries, comprising 4 fours and 2 sixes, couldn’t secure victory as CSK finished 20 runs shy of the target. Nevertheless, it was a significant win for the Delhi Capitals, marking their first victory of the season.
Yet, it was MS Dhoni who commanded attention with his outstanding performance.
A revered figure in Indian cricket, Dhoni’s return to the field after a prolonged absence was eagerly awaited by fans. His entry onto the pitch during the match against the Delhi Capitals was met with thunderous applause from the crowd.
Displaying his trademark prowess, Dhoni thrilled spectators with a series of impressive boundaries and sixes, eliciting ecstatic reactions from the audience, particularly considering the speculation surrounding his potential retirement after this season. One standout moment was his one-handed six in the final over bowled by Anrich Nortje. Despite losing grip of his bottom hand, Dhoni’s sheer power propelled the ball over the mid-wicket boundary, showcasing his enduring skill at the age of 42. Watch the video here:
