During the IPL 2024 encounter against the Mumbai Indians, on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, it was all MS Dhoni. The seasoned batsman for the Chennai Super Kings hammered 20 runs in just four deliveries. With barely four balls left in the CSK innings when he stepped out to bat, Dhoni took full advantage of the occasion, hitting Hardik Pandya for three straight sixes. Every big shot that Dhoni made caused the audience to scream, and Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of legendary former Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, was astounded by the powerful batting shown.
