Hugging a fan who went through security to touch his feet, MS Dhoni helicopters and smacks two one-handed sixes.

At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, there was a loud cheer and then a quiet moment as the umpires ordered Shivam Dube to hold off in order to measure the height of the full throw. The reason for the roar for the wicket was not because it was the Gujarat Titans' home game. Anticipation grew as we saw MS Dhoni take the field. It didn't take the third umpire long to tell Dube to march. Dhoni entered. Now, it didn't matter what else. The state of the match. heading toward the postseason. Nothing in the net run rate game. It is only a man and his supporters. Dhoni has spent the last two years of the IPL as one big festivity. Now it's just routine. The supporters desire Dhoni to bat higher up the order but the knee injury doesn't allow him to bat at full strength for more than 15 balls. Against GT on Friday, he batted 11. Three of them were sixes. And no ordinary sixes.
