It's a spectacle once again as MS Dhoni takes center stage! At the age of 42, soon to turn 43, and playing only a few months each year, Dhoni's enduring brilliance remains a mystery that continues to captivate cricket enthusiasts worldwide. Against Mumbai, he orchestrated a stunning finish in just four balls, and today, with 13 balls remaining, he strides out to the middle.

Facing off against the relatively inexperienced bowlers of LSG, particularly targeting Yash Thakur in the final over, Dhoni unleashes his vintage prowess. A classic Dhoni six over cow corner on the third ball electrifies the stadium (and this is no small ground, mind you!). What adds to Dhoni's advantage is Thakur's pace, clocking around 145km/h, where even a slight miss-hit could find gaps and fetch runs.

Thakur attempts a wide yorker next, but Dhoni manages to get a thick edge between short third and point for a boundary! Following a couple of runs on the fifth delivery, Dhoni connects cleanly on another wide yorker for the final ball, sending it crashing into the boundary behind point.

Dhoni's innings reads 28 off just nine balls, adorned with three fours and two towering sixes, once again proving why he's hailed as one of the greatest finishers in the game's history.
