The cricket fraternity was left in awe of MS Dhoni after the veteran played a late blitz to help Chennai Super Kings defeat Mumbai Indians in a thrilling contest. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is hailed as one of the best hitters of the game, once again proved why he is hailed as one of the best finishers in the game.
Chasing a target of 156 runs to win, Chennai needed 17 runs off the last over, which was bowled by Jaydev Unadkat to get the result in its favor. Unadkat dismissed well-set Dwaine Pretorius on the first ball in order to take Mumbai Indians closer to their first win of the ongoing season.
Though, the game almost slipped from CSK’s hands, however, things changed as soon as MS Dhoni took charge from the third ball and smashed the 30-year-old pacer for 6, 4, 2, and 4 to win the game for his side.
All thanks to MS Dhoni’s vintage heroics, CSK registered their second win of the season. And after having registered this win, they still have a chance to qualify for the playoffs.
Meanwhile, as soon as MS Dhoni took his team to the victory lines, social media was already flooded with amazing reactions and tweets from all corners. From fans, cricketers to experts, everyone took to Twitter to hail the greatest finisher the game has ever seen – MS Dhoni.

After the game, during the post-match presentation, CSK’s captain MS Dhoni showered praises on the former captain for his terrific finishing skills. He said:
“Actually we were very tense, the way the game was going, but at some stage we knew that the great finisher of the game was there and if he played to the last ball, he can definitely finish the match. He (Dhoni) showed the world that he’s still here and he can finish the game.”
