Former Indian and Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni was seen smacking a six off Mukesh Choudhary, with the internet not just trolling the former for his hard-hitting skills post-40, but also trolling Choudhary, with three
days to go for the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League.
Dhoni endured a quiet IPL 2025 campaign, scoring 196 runs in 14 games at an average of 24.5 and a strike rate of 135.17, often coming in late to provide quick runs and a finishing push in the final overs.
But even at 44, Dhoni looked very fit and effortlessly smacked a much-younger Choudhary for a six during the intra-squad game. Watch the video here:

The video is going viral, with fans excited to see Dhoni back in action in the IPL. But Choudhary has found himself at the receiving end of trolls, with many claiming he is the kind of bowler anyone can dispatch for a six.
“Even siraj will hit a six against the great Mukesh Starc,” a user tweeted on Wednesday morning.

“If a guy who hasn’t played for one full year van easily hit Mukesh Starc. Then think how dangerous CSk’s bowling lineup is😭😭😭,” a user wrote.

Beyond that, the video underlines that even in the twilight of his career, Dhoni still has a crucial role as a finisher for Chennai Super Kings, a job he has mastered over the years, amassing 5,439 runs in 278 IPL games.
