Dhoni scored 12 off 3 balls in CSK's second match against LSG.
In CSK’s campaign opener, Dhoni scored 14* off 7 balls with one four and one six while he slammed 12 off 3 balls, including a couple of sixes, in the ongoing clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Dhoni came out to bat at No. 8 in the final over and smashed a six off the first ball while facing Mark Wood. The CSK captain also deposited the second ball for a six before being dismissed on the third delivery.
While the first maximum flew over third man, the second one was the pull over deep square leg. With the second six, Dhoni also completed 5000 runs in the Indian Premier League.
Both the shots left the crowd mesmerized as they made the loudest cheers possible at Chepauk.
