Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni sent the internet into a frenzy after a video of him celebrating after smashing Dwayne Bravo for a six went viral on the internet. In the video, Bravo bowled a delivery from round the wicket and Dhoni stepped outside his off stump, took a couple of steps forward, and then unleashed a monstrous hit towards the cow corner fence for a six. After Dhoni launched the ball into the night sky, the CSK captain was spotted celebrating by lifting both his hands up in the air in delight.
Meanwhile, Bravo was shocked, surprised and ashamed all at the same time as he held his head in disbelief. The CSK players who were watching the action unfold from afar were also surprised as one of the players was seen holding his head.
