There are plenty of sacrifices, sweats, and injuries that an athlete goes through to attain success. MS Dhoni exemplified the trend by hitting a one-handed six against Mohit Sharma despite playing with a calf muscle tear against Gujarat Titans in the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Winning their second toss in twelve matches, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s decision to field first backfired as B Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill’s ton helped them pile up 231 runs in 20 overs. In reply, CSK suffered early setbacks but Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali’s fifty stabilised the stage. However, the Titans bowlers pulled the game in their favour but MS Dhoni’s one-handed sixes at the fag end stole the spotlight. 

On the fourth ball of the 19th over, Mohit bowled a good length delivery outside the stumps that Dhoni pulled it over deep mid-wicket despite losing his bottom hand. Four balls later the former CSK captain did a similar after smashing Rashid Khan’s half-tracker over the deep square leg region for another six. Seeing a 42-year-old giving his all despite a calf muscle tear, the Twitterverse could not move away from appreciating his skillset and determination.
