Chennai Super Kings put up a total of 206 for the loss of 4 wickets in their 20 overs against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday in the 2024 edition of the IPL.
Fifties from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube solidified CSK’s innings after a rather slow start, but the side from Tamil Nadu were carried over the 200-run mark thanks to MS Dhoni’s three sixers on the trot off the last four deliveries in the innings.
Dhoni walked in to bat with Chennai at 186/4 in 19.2 overs after Daryl Mitchell fell prey to Hardik Pandya and went on to smash three sixers off the first three deliveries he faced. The World Cup winner picked up a double off the last ball to finish unbeaten at 20 off just 4 deliveries.
