Even though a lot has changed at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, MS Dhoni’s Finishes Of In A Style has not changed. When he came on the field in the last over of the innings against Mumbai Indians, in front of him was Hardik Pandya, who claims himself to be the embodiment of Dhoni. There were only 4 balls left in the innings and then what Dhoni did in Baahubali style was a money making show. Scored a total of 20 runs with 3 sixes and a deuce and later, despite Rohit Sharma’s smashing century, these 20 runs were the difference in Mumbai Indians’ defeat.
Before the match, Hardik ran to Dhoni.
Something strange happened before the match. Hardik Pandya ran towards Dhoni before the toss and hugged him. The fans had gathered in the stadium like a flood. Everyone was going crazy seeing this moment. Little did Hardik know that Dhoni would bring destruction for him in the last over.
19.3 overs: MS Dhoni took the ball to the crowd in his own style.
When MS Dhoni entered the field, it seemed as if Dhoni was in the M. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. There was only a little peace from the noise of Dhoni-Dhoni when Baahubali sent Hardik Pandya’s slower delivery out of the long off boundary with a crushing hit. Now the noise was once again at its peak.
19.4 overs: Outside long on, Dhoni hits a six.
After hitting the first six, Hardik Pandya had just started his runup when the noise arose again and again in a tremendous manner. Dhoni again played a brilliant stroke and the ball now went out of the long on boundary. Absolutely cutting through the air. 6 runs.
19.5 overs: Dhoni’s hat-trick six, Rohit’s crooked smile
Hardik Pandya’s next ball was a full toss and Dhoni flicked the ball with the pads. The ball went running outside the deep square leg boundary for 6 runs. This was the third six. When the camera focused on Rohit Sharma’s face, he was smiling. He knew what Dhoni could do.
19.6 overs: Dhoni takes 2 runs and the over is 26 runs.
Dhoni tried to hit Hardik Pandya’s next ball hard, but it took the edge and went towards the leg side. By the time the ball came back, 2 runs had already been scored. Who could stop Dhoni, an expert in speed? In this way, a total of 26 runs were scored in this over and 20 runs were scored in the last 4 balls.
These 20 runs cost Mumbai Indians dearly.
The 20 runs scored by MS Dhoni in the last 4 balls proved costly for Mumbai Indians. Mumbai, captained by Hardik Pandya, lost the match by 20 runs. Had it not been for these 20 runs, perhaps Rohit Sharma’s century would have proved to be a boon for Mumbai.
