MS Dhoni

It was like back to 2015, when Virat Kohli scored an anchoring hundred in a steep chase and MS Dhoni played the perfect finisher by winning the match in his trademark six-hitting style in the final over.


Chase master Kohli could not take his team to the finishing line this time but Dhoni (55 off 54) and Dinesh Karthik (25 off 14) rose to the occasion with an unbeaten 57-run stand off 34 balls, taking India home with four balls to spare. Australia scored 298-8 after opting to bat.


Man of the match Kohli was dismissed in the 44th over after making 104 off 112 balls with five fours and two sixes. Dhoni, who has been coping a lot of criticism for his waning finishing skills, turned back the clock and took India past the finish line with a final over six.


The veteran's running between the wickets, laced with two sixes as the only boundaries, finished things off in style for India.

With the win, India levelled the three-match series 1-1 with the decider to be played on Friday.

Indian cricket legends and experts like Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammad Kaif, Harsha Bhogle, everyone took to Twitter to praise the Indian team on the win, here are the tweets: 

Well we can surely say that MS Dhoni has redeemed himself with this match-winning knock.
