In their twelfth match, Ruturaj Gaikwad chose to field after winning the toss for the second time, but it didn’t work out well. B Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill’s superb batting helped them score 231 runs in 20 overs.
Despite early setbacks, CSK managed to stabilize their innings with Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali both scoring fifty. However, Gujarat Titans’ bowlers turned the game in their favor, although MS Dhoni’s remarkable one-handed sixes towards the end grabbed everyone’s attention.
In the 19th over, Dhoni pulled off impressive shots despite losing his grip on the bat. First, he sent a delivery from Mohit over deep mid-wicket for a six, and then he repeated the feat against Rashid Khan, hitting a half-tracker over deep square leg for another six.
Despite being 42 years old and nursing a calf muscle tear, Dhoni’s determination and skill amazed everyone on social media.
