Watch: Sara Tendulkar's Stunned Reaction To MS Dhoni's Hat-Trick Of Sixes Against Mumbai Indians

It was an electrifying spectacle at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as MS Dhoni, the veteran Chennai Super Kings batter, displayed his masterful skills, smashing 20 runs in just four deliveries during the IPL 2024 match against the Mumbai Indians. Dhoni's explosive batting came to the fore when he stepped up to bat with only four balls remaining in the CSK innings. Facing Hardik Pandya, Dhoni launched three consecutive sixes, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Even legendary India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's daughter, Sara Tendulkar, was left in awe of Dhoni's incredible display. Despite a gritty century by Mumbai Indians' captain, Rohit Sharma, the team fell short of victory as Chennai Super Kings emerged triumphant by 20 runs. Sharma's unbeaten 105 was not enough, as Mumbai Indians struggled to keep up with the required run rate, losing wickets at regular intervals.

Earlier in the match, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube played crucial roles, scoring brilliant half-centuries. However, it was Dhoni's explosive batting towards the end of the innings that propelled CSK's total beyond 200 on a pitch that offered little assistance to the bowlers. Gaikwad praised Dhoni's contribution, highlighting the impact of the three sixes in the context of the match. "The young wicketkeeper scoring those three sixes helped us a lot, that proved to be the difference. We needed those 10-15 extra runs for this kind of venue," he said during the presentation ceremony. Even Mumbai Indians' captain, Hardik Pandya, acknowledged Dhoni's influence, noting that his presence behind the stumps provides a significant advantage to the CSK team.

"They were smart with the plans and their approach. They got the hang of it, there's a man behind the stumps (Dhoni) who tells them what's working, that helps," the all-rounder remarked. Overall, Dhoni's stellar performance and strategic acumen played a pivotal role in the Chennai Super Kings' victory, showcasing once again why he is considered one of the greatest players in the history of the game.
