The legendary Chennai skipper and wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni has made a spectacular comeback at the home ground of Chennai in Chepauk. The 41-year-old smashed two consecutive sixes off the senior Lucknow pacer Mark Wood in the 20th over of the match.
Firstly, Wood bowled a length ball and Dhoni happened to slash it in the wide deep third-man region to clear the boundary line for a massive six. Later on, the senior pacer tried a bouncer against Dhoni and the latter didn’t fail to smash it into the upper deck over the square leg region. Apart from this, Dhoni has also completed 5000 runs in his Indian T20 League career.
The crowd of Chepauk also went crazy following these two massive hits from Mahi; the video of these two spectacular sixes is also making rounds on social as soon as it was shared by Indian T20 League from their official Twitter account.
