Former captain MS Dhoni played the role of finisher for India for many years. In the final of the 2011 World Cup, he gave India the title victory by hitting a six off Nuwan Kulasekara. This shot of his has settled in the hearts of the fans forever. Once again, Dhoni gave victory to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by putting a sixer in the same style in the IPL match on Thursday.
CSK captain Dhoni hit this 96 meters long six towards deep midwicket off Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowler Siddharth Kaul. With this victorious sixer, Chennai won the match by six wickets and made it to the playoffs for the 11th time. Dhoni played an innings of 14 not out off 11 balls.
Sunrisers out of playoff race
Talking about the match, in the match played in Sharjah, Sunrisers Hyderabad, batting first after losing the toss, scored 134 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. Wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha played the highest innings of 44 runs. For CSK, Josh Hazlewood took three wickets and Dwayne Bravo took two wickets.
In reply, Chennai won the match by scoring 139 for four in 19.4 overs. Chennai openers Rituraj Gaikwad scored the highest 45 and Faf du Plessis scored 41 runs. With this, Chennai became the first team to reach the playoffs of IPL 2021. At the same time, Sunrisers Hyderabad was officially out of the race for the playoffs.
... a chance to win the title for the fourth time
Chennai Super Kings has won the IPL title three times under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. But the last IPL season was very bad for Chennai. In the last IPL, CSK had won only 6 matches out of 14 and were at 7th position in the points table. In such a situation, by winning IPL-14, Dhoni would like to give a memorable gift to his CSK fans.
40-year-old Dhoni retired from international cricket on 15 August 2020. He scored 17266 runs in 350 ODIs, 98 T20 Internationals, and 90 Test matches for India. During this, he scored 108 half-centuries and 16 centuries. Under Dhoni's captaincy, Team India was successful in winning three ICC titles.
