The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the only place where the fans get to see MS Dhoni playing since he retired from international cricket and the fans are enjoying the sight of him batting. During the game between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), fans went into a frenzy as CSK skipper, MS Dhoni smashed a massive six.
CSK locked horns with RR in their final league game of IPL 2022. After winning the toss MS Dhoni decided to bat first in a game that the side is playing for pride. Rajasthan Royals on the other hand need to win this game against CSK to reach second place on the IPL 2022 points table.

CSK did not get off to a great start as they lost Ruturaj Gaikwad in the powerplay. But, Moeen Ali, who came out to bat at number three smoked the RR bowlers as he raced to his half-century in just 19 balls. However, Rajasthan Royals managed to restrict the flow of runs by picking three quick wickets to put CSK on the backfoot.
MS Dhoni was initially struggling as he could not score many boundaries. But, on the first ball of the 17th Prasidh Krishna bowled a ball that was in the slot that MS Dhoni had smashed a huge six which went the distance of 98 meters over mid-wicket sending the fans into a frenzy as the ground was filled with Dhoni chants.
