Legendary batsman Virender Sehwag has come up with a brilliant message after MS Dhoni performed an outrageous strike to send off Shubman Gill in the IPL 2023 final between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Chennai Super Kings were in desperate need of a wicket after the in-form Shubman Gill and veteran Wriddhiman Saha gave the defending champions a good start. After Deepak Chahar floored Gill when he was only 3, he and Saha brought the score to 62 with no loss late on the power play.

The kind of form Gill was in heading into the IPL 2023 final, CSK needed to send him back as quickly as possible. Having scored 3 centuries in his last 4 outings, the right-handed batsman also started in the final, looking set to record another big score before his tenure at the crease was ended thanks to a lightning-quick strike from MS Dhoni.

Virender Sehwag on MS Dhoni’s bewilderment:
In the seventh over, left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja bowled a long ball around the stump and managed to bring Gill forward for a drive. The youngster, however, was unable to make any contact with the ball and was hit completely when the ball swerved away.

And as he stretched forward, his back foot was dragged out of the crease. It was enough for MS Dhoni to make Gill pay for her mistake. The former India captain removed the bails in an instant, giving Gill no chance to get back into the crease. The right-handed hitter had to leave after scoring 39.

MS Dhoni has been receiving praise from far and wide for his work and his former teammate Virender Sehwag has also praised him. The former India opener took to Twitter to praise Dhoni in his own style, tweeting:
“Wow! One can change banknotes, but behind wickets you can’t change MS Dhoni! Nahi badal sakte.. As fast as ever MS Dhoni.”
