M.S Dhoni moves to second among most IPL sixes. Chennai Super Kings skipper M.S. Dhoni moved to 187 IPL sixes, which is the second highest in the most sixes list behind King XI Punjab’s Chris Gayle who has 296 maximums to his name.
In the penultimate over against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday, Dhoni hit Amit Mishra for a massive six over the sightscreen as he overtook his CSK teammate Suresh Raina and Royal Challengers Banglore’s AB de Villiers who are joint-third with 186 sixes.
CSK needed eight runs in as many balls, when the former Indian captain cleared the roes after switching to a heavier bat. Though it was not a typical Dhoni finish, he was present at the other end to see Dwayne Bravo finish off the match as CSK won by six wickets with two balls to spare.
