Second ball, short and outside off. Now this is a tough shot to play. He hits another six. And I’m wondering if this is the Dhoni of 2011 or 2023? Unbelievable shots. After 1426 days he’s playing the first match in Chepauk, play just three deliveries of which first two result in six against the world’s fastest bowler. Unreal, surreal,” Chopra mentioned on his YouTube channel.
