MS Dhoni hitting a six vs RR (Source:@StarSportsIndia/X.com)
MS Dhoni was long considered as the best finisher in the world, and though he has retired from international cricket in 2019, he has shown enough glimpses of his vintage best in the last few years. Thus, when CSK needed 39 off 12 balls, there was enough hope in the Yellove Army that their beloved Thala will pull off another heist.

He could not do it in the end, but raised hopes in the penultimate over with a four and a six. The four came on the first ball of the 19th over while the six came on the fourth ball of the over. It was a typical MS Dhoni six as Dhoni hit it flat and six down the ground. It was a slower length delivery, outside off and MS Dhoni came with a stand and deliver it to create lot of buzz in the CSK camp.
It was officially the home ground of Rajasthan Royals, but when MS Dhoni is playing, there is no away game for CSK and the fans went berserk in Guwahati. In the same over, Ravindra Jadeja also smashed a six, and it looked like the old duo will pull off something special again.
However, Sandeep Sharma bowled a brilliant final over and removed MS Dhoni to end CSK's hopes. Jamie Overton hit one into the crowd, but it was too much for him to handle and CSK ended up losing the game by six runs.
