MS Dhoni smashed 26 off 11 balls in GT vs CSK IPL 2024 game.

Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni hit a one-handed six off Mohit Sharma against Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2024 in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 10.

The maximum came off the penultimate over of the Super Kings' run chase. Mohit bowled a slower length ball outside off and Dhoni whipped it off his bottom hand while going for the slog. The power was enough to muscle it over the deep mid-wicket.

Dhoni hit another one-handed six off Rashid Khan in the last over. The wicketkeeper-batter finished with an unbeaten 26 runs off 11 balls, including three sixes and one boundary. The 43-year-old has been impressive this season, with 136 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 226.6.
