Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known to be one of the best finishers of all time in world cricket and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain solidified his reputation once again when he smashed back-to-back sixes in the final over of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Sunday.

Dhoni walked out to bat in the 19th over and made an attempt to hit a big shot from the first ball, but he missed the connection. However, he demonstrated his finisher role on the fifth ball of the final over smashing Sam Curran for a flat six over backward point.

As the crowd at the Chepauk Stadium erupted with excitement, chants of “Dhoni, Dhoni” reverberated throughout the venue. The pressure was on the bowler and it showed as he ended up delivering a full toss and Dhoni executed a powerful and perfectly-timed strike, sending the ball sailing over the mid-wicket region for his second six of the match.

Here is the video:

Devon Conway‘s clinical display with the bat was instrumental in Chennai Super Kings posting a total of 200/4 in their allotted 20 overs. The left-handed opener remained unbeaten on 92 off just 52 deliveries, with a remarkable strike rate of 176.92. He smashed 16 boundaries and a six in his innings, showcasing his exceptional batting skills.

Ruturaj Gaikwad contributed 37 runs off 31 deliveries, including a boundary and a six, while opening the innings with Conway. The two batsmen shared an impressive 86-run partnership for the first wicket. Shivam Dube also made a valuable contribution with 28 runs off just 17 balls. On the bowling front, Arshdeep Singh, Curran, Rahul Chahar, and Sikandar Raza each picked up a wicket for Punjab Kings.
