As a part of the warm-up, yesterday’s win for team India against New Zealand gave more hopes to the Indian fans all over the world that they will go forward and win the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 and bring the cup back home.

Special innings by Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan proved that the top order is strong enough to face any kind of pressure situation even on the big stage and the defending champions looked good regarding the performance.

Amidst all this, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his sixes are one of the best things to have ever happened in cricket. As we all know, Dhoni is a massive hitter of the ball and we have seen him hitting some unbelievable shots on the ground many times over the bowler’s head.

Moreover, he is especially known for his helicopter shot which every love him to play it. And the legend was at it again on Sunday but in a different style, when India played New Zealand in their first warm-up match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 in London.

Chasing 190, India needed Dhoni’s service with the bat after losing the wickets of openers Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik. The Kiwis seemed a bit confident with their strategies to dismiss the batsmen as the turned suddenly with two wickets going on their way.

Then, in the 25th over, the former India captain showed why he is hailed as one the fiercest hitters of the cricket ball.

The New Zealanders planned a great strategy to dismiss MS Dhoni. As planned Kiwis bowler Trent Boult banged a short delivery, wide outside off in the hope to intimidate Dhoni.

But an airborne Dhoni hit the ball over cover, and it went flat and furious. The fielder standing there seemed helpless seeing the ball going miles away from him crossing the boundary rope for a massive six.

Soon after sending the ball into the stands, a smiling Dhoni approached his captain Virat Kohli to celebrate the six, even as Kiwi fielders were left bemused.
