MS Dhoni witnessed two monumental cricket feats

What would you say if you ever get to watch someone hitting six sixes in an over, and that too in an international game against a formidable opponent?

MS Dhoni had the opportunity to witness that as his partner Yuvraj Singh went all guns blazing to not only six sixes in Stuart Broad’s over in a T20 World Cup match in 2007, but also made a fifty off just 12 balls, which still is a record in any international game.

MS Dhoni had a wry smile on his face and he was seen enjoying every bit of it with his marauding partner, Yuvraj, who ‘absolutely unleashed’ himself that day.

Well, MS Dhoni must consider himself very privileged as he also saw Sachin Tendulkar scoring the first ever double hundred in Men’s ODI cricket from the non-striker’s end. In a game against South Africa in Gwalior in 2010, the Indian batting maestro struck 200 off 147 balls to create history and the Indian skipper MS Dhoni was there, at the other end, to congratulate the master.
