Thala Dhoni walked out and did exactly what he is known the best for. In what was a nightmare of a final over for Mumbai Indians, MS Dhoni went berserk as he smashed 20 runs off just four deliveries to take CSK past the 200-run mark with ease. Three sixes and a double from the ex-CSK skipper off Hardik Pandya’s bowling turned out to be the difference in the game as MI ended up losing by the same 20-run margin.
Thala Dhoni wins it for CSK vs MI
He smashed three consecutive sixes in the first three balls he faced to start things off. He smacked an 81-meter-long six over long off, then went over mid-wicket for a second maximum and followed it up by thrashing a full toss to the deep square leg boundary.
