The Mahi show was back in the last over of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals’ match. Defending a total of 217 was not an easy chase, CSK was under pressure and lost wickets continuously. Coming out to bat in number seven, CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit three consecutive sixes to reduce the margin of losing the game.
The Men in Yellow were surprised to watch Dhoni swing his bat and hit big shots. Bringing back memories of good old days, one of the sixes went out of the Sharjah stadium and was picked by the resident who walked away with it, all smiles!
