Watch: MS Dhoni Extends Sensational Record With Mammoth Six In Final Over

MS Dhoni was at his explosive best as he slammed a massive six in the final over of Chennai Super Kings' innings during the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings on Wednesday. The veteran wicket-keeper batter came out to bat with around 2 overs to go and ended up scoring 14 off 11 deliveries. In the penultimate delivery of the final over, Dhoni read the low full-toss from Arshdeep Singh perfectly and heaved it for a mammoth six over sweeper cover. This was the 66th six for Dhoni in the final over of an IPL innings - a record that already belongs to him with Kieron Pollard a distant second with 33.

Ruturaj Gaikwad braved a sluggish Chepauk pitch and accurate Punjab Kings spinners to make a solid fifty but Chennai Super Kings could only post a modest 162 for seven in their IPL match on Wednesday. Once they were asked to bat first, skipper Gaikwad (62, 48b, 5x4, 2x6) and his opening partner Ajinkya Rahane (29, 24b) added 61 runs for the opening wicket but they consumed 49 balls for it. There were flashes of intent too in their alliance, though. Gaikwad played a fine upper cut off Arshdeep Singh for a boundary over the slips and Rahane creamed three fours in a row off Sam Curran, including a lovely cover drive. But they were too far and few in between to make a real impact.

The slide of CSK began once PBKS brought their spinners on immediately after the Power Play that yielded 55 for no loss.

Rahane tried to slog sweep Harpreet Brar but his skier ended in the hands of Rilee Rossouw in the deep.

But the left-arm spinner inflicted a bigger blow in the next delivery, trapping Shivam Dube, who was named in
