MS Dhoni: IPL crowd go absolutely wild, they can’t believe this has just happened
MS DHONI sent the IPL crowd wild this afternoon after a six-hitting masterclass in Rising Pune Supergiant’s qualifier with Mumbai Indians.
MS Dhoni went six crazy in the IPL for Rising Pune Supergiant
The Indian power-hitter looked to be struggling having scored just 14 runs from 18 balls midway through the 19th over.
His side had found quick scoring difficult and were meandering along at 121 for 3 with two overs left.
Enter Dhoni. He hit two sixes from the 19th over, bowled by Mitchell McClenaghan, then followed it up with two more sixes in the last off of India international Jasprit Bumrah.
His six-hitting heroics sent the Mumbai crowd wild - despite him playing for the opposite side.
Form is Temporary Class is permanent @msdhoni loved the way he was batting in last 10 deliveries @IPL @mipaltan vs @RPSupergiants

Cries of ‘Dhoni, Dhoni’ ran round the ground as his side surged to set 162 in the loser-goes-out game.
While on Twitter, Dhoni was soon trending in India as fans rushed to social media.
One wrote: “I can’t believe it. Dhoni is super human. WOW!!!!!”
Another added: “Dhoni is the only humanbeing who can beat cheetah in a 22yard race #MSDhoni #dhoni.”
A fellow cricket nut posted: “Mirror mirror on the wall... Who's the greatest finisher of them all? #msdhoni without a doubt at all.”
Another replied: “666 #msdhoni dhoni dhoni!!!”
While one enthusiastic Dhoni fan tweeted the man himself and said: “Dhoni, marry me?”
Dhoni is team-mates with Ben Stokes for RPS but the Englishman has now left the squad to prepare for the ICC Champions Trophy.
