MS Dhoni Becomes The First Indian To Achieve A Remarkable Feat of IPL

MS Dhoni produced one of the most shocking batting performances ever seen in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading his team to the verge of victory in the RCB vs. CSK IPL 2019 clash at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday night. While it was not enough for CSK to get off the line when RCB stuttered to a race victory, the MS Dhoni hit left a lasting impression on the cricket fraternity. MS Dhoni not only recorded his highest score in the history of the IPL, but the CSK captain also became the first Indian to reach 200 six in the tournament.

MS Dhoni almost managed to chase 161 from Chennai when he broke five legs and seven sixes in his 48-ball attack only to see his team lose by one race at the 2019 IPL meeting in Bengaluru.

MS Dhoni became the third player in the history of IPL to reach the milestone of 200 six. Chris Gayle ranks first on the list with a whopping 323 hits in the limit, while RCB star AB de Villiers is second with 204 six.

The seven maximum of MS Dhoni in the clash between RCB and CSK IPL took his general account to 203 six in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina are the best Indians, and both batters have 190 six each in the T20 tournament. The RCB captain, Virat Kohli, is not far behind with 186 maximums in his name.

On Sunday night, when the current IPL champion, CSK, needed 26 of the last time, MS Dhoni hit four and three sixes, but lost the paceman Umesh Yadav's last ball and ran to pass by byes.

RCB goalkeeper Parthiv Patel, who scored the best score with 53 points in his team's 161-7, beat the stumps to eliminate Shardul Thakur when the Virat Kohli team managed to win their third game.
