Ex-CSK skipper MS Dhoni smashed a one-handed six off Mohit Sharma during the IPL 2024 match against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 10. The boundary came in the penultimate over of the Super Kings’ innings.

Mohit delivered a slower length ball outside off, and Dhoni used his bottom hand to whip it while attempting the slog. His strength was sufficient to propel the ball over deep mid-wicket. You can watch the shot here:
