200 sixes! FOR CSK
Chennai skipper MS Dhoni has created yet another record during his unbeaten 48-ball 84 knock against Bangalore team on Sunday at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
First, he became the first Indian batsman to hit 200 sixes in Indian Premier League, besides healso hit the biggest six in the history of IPL.
In his 84-run knock, Dhoni hit five fours and seven sixes, including the record-breaking giant 111-metre long sixer over wide long-on. He broke Hardik Pandya's record of 104-metre long six.
In the last over, when Chennai needed 26 runs to win, Dhoni launched his assault by hitting a four to deep square leg. He hit three sixes and a four to bring his side closer to victory.
One of those last-over sixerslanded on the stadium roof (maybe crossed the stadium) and created the record.
