On MS Dhoni's 3 Sixes Against Hardik Pandya, Sunil Gavaskar's Blunt "Benefit Match" Dig

The Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings match in the IPL 2024 was memorable for a number of reasons. There were some superlative displays by youngsters while MI star batter Rohit Sharma got a century. While MI lost the match, often called the IPL's El Clasico, what got the Wankhede Stadium and India going was the three sixes that MS Dhoni hit in the last over of CSK's innings.

In Rohit Sharma Meeting, BCCI Sets Strict Hardik Pandya T20 World Cup Selection Condition: Report

n already-troubled Hardik Pandya could be in for a big setback if things don't go his way in the ongoing Indian Premier League (PL) 2024. While the batter Hardik is yet to fire, having only scored 131 runs in 6 matches at an average of 26.20 this season. With the ball, Hardik has been fairly inconsistent to even take up the responsibility. He has barely bowled in the last 4 matches, and when he has, the opponent team's batters have ripped him apart. With a place in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad, Pandya has reportedly been sent a clear message from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee.

Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer feels that Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya's decision to bowl the 20th over instead of Akash Madhwal in the Chennai Super Kings innings was a "debatable" decision. Jasprit Bumrah bowled the 19th over, which left Hardik with the option to bowl the final over or let Akash Madhwal finish off the innings for MI. Hardik took the mantle and ended up conceding 26 runs, which was laced with MS Dhoni's hattrick of sixes, which powered CSK to 206/4, which seemed like a far-fetched thought.
