MI vs CSK: MS Dhoni set the Wankhede Stadium on fire by hitting three consecutive sixes on the first three balls of his innings against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (April 14).

Dhoni walked in to bat with just four balls left in the CSK innings. He hammered the first delivery he faced from Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya for a six over long-off. He followed it with a six over long-on and then guided a full toss over deep square leg to make it three in a row.

The 42-year-old, who is playing in the IPL 2024 as a tribute to his fans, ran a double on the final delivery despite a knee issue to finish on unbeaten 20 off 4 at a strike rate of 500. The exhilarating cameo from Dhoni helped CSK finish at 206/4 against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians.

Playing his 250th match for CSK, MS Dhoni became the first Indian batter to hit three consecutive sixes on the first three balls of his innings. In the 20th overs of IPL, Dhoni has now scored 756 runs off 309 balls at a strike rate of 244.66. He has hit 51 fours and 64 sixes in the 20th overs of IPL.

The thunderous knock not only rocked the Wankhede Stadium but also broke the internet with posts praising the former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni. Here are the top 10 reactions.
