MS Dhoni is no stranger to hitting massive sixes and his brilliance was in full display once again during Chennai Super Kings’ practice at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai ahead of their IPL 2019 opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The crowd at the Chepauk witnessed a lot of big shots from the CSK skipper but one particular shot cleared the boundary with ease and hit the roof of the stadium. The video of the shot was shared on Twitter by a fan.

Over the years, Chepauk has been Dhoni’s happy hunting ground and he has scored bucketloads of runs at this famous venue. Dhoni stands second on the list of most runs scored at this stadium in the IPL. Dhoni’s teammate and the highest run getter in IPL Suresh Raina takes the top spot.

To make matters worse for the visitors, Dhoni also enjoys a great record against RCB and he is the leading run-scorer against RCB in the cash-rich league. Dhoni’s 710 runs against RCB is better than the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma.

Dhoni will look to take inspiration from the last season where the came up with the goods with the bat and fire his team to their third IPL title. The CSK skipper scored 455 runs in 16 matches which is his second most runs in a season after 2013 where he scored 461 runs.
