After being sent in to bat first after Bangladesh won the toss, India were again off to a very poor start with Dhawan getting out cheaply in the 3rd over of the match. MS Dhoni and KL Rahul set the Indian ship off the shores real quick with some blistering hits after steadying the Indian innings, as the top 3 batsmen were back in the hut within 20 overs.

However, after getting into the groove MS Dhoni, along with KL Rahul did what he is best known for- smacking the leather with his famous onslaughts.

113 off 78 deliveries

Studded with 8 fours and 7 sixes, MS Dhoni finished his innings a quickfire 113 off 78 deliveries.

It was the 2nd delivery of the 49th over of the Indian innings when Dhoni completed his century in his famous style by hitting a colossal six bowled by Bangladesh pacer Abu Jayed. The delivery was right in the slot of the “Grandmaester of big hits” as he hit that delivery straight down the ground for a maximum. It was a bread and butter shot for someone who was batting in his nineties.
