Dhoni goes 6, 6, 6 to finish off CSK's innings in style

MS Dhoni, at 42, has been reserving his energies for the late-overs dash in IPL 2024. And the wait was well worth it for his team-mates and fans alike at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday night, where he played four balls in the 20th over and finished with a strike rate of 500. Here's how ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball commentary recorded the carnage.

19.1, Hardik to Mitchell, 1 wide
Width outside off, Mitchell is beaten as he tries to cut and pick the gap at deep point. Wide signalled, Hardik reviews. Replays confirm it was well outside the marker with the batter making no attempt to move around the crease. The wide stands.

19.1, 4, Hardik to Mitchell, FOUR runs
Heaved down the ground and beats Nabi running around from long-on!

19.2, Hardik to Mitchell, 1 wide
Spears it way outside off in anticipation of the batter moving around, another wide. Challenged once again, wonder why.

19.2, Hardik to Mitchell, OUT
Muscled to long-on where Nabi takes an excellent catch on the move. Mitchell stood off stump and tried to swing cleanly into the leg side, struck it well but couldn't get the elevation.

Wankhede roars. They're up to applaud a legend. In comes MS Dhoni. The noise has just gone through the roof.

19.3, 6, Hardik to Dhoni, SIX runs
What a hit! That's an MS Dhoni special. Hardik feeds a sweet hit-me length to MS, still has to be hit alight and he clobbers this over long-off.

19.4, 6, Hardik to Dhoni, SIX runs
That's smacked over long-on! Swatted powerfully and disdainfully. Hardik makes the cardinal sin of bowling length, Dhoni has a free swing across the line. Flat hit. Wow, just wow.

19.5, 6, Hardik to Dhoni, SIX runs
Make that three in a row! Hardik loses the plot, goes full searching for a yorker but ends up bowling a full toss and Dhoni simply flicks that over square leg. Tremendous bat speed.

19.6, Hardik to Dhoni, 2 runs
Heaves this slower delivery across the line, gets an inside edge that flies wide of the stumps, Ishan can only half-stop and Dhoni squeezes in a second. What a finish.
