Mumbai Indians were struggling to even get close to the 150-run mark against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede but that was before Hardik Pandya came into bat. Read full story
Hardik Pandya scored an unbeaten 25 runs off a mere 8 balls and the highlight of the cameo was the huge 100-metre long helicopter shot which he hit for a six.
Many people would remember MS Dhoni hitting the same shot at the Wankhede, 8 years back on April 2, 2011, to lift the World Cup trophy. So it gave a nostalgic feeling when the best all-rounder in the country at the moment Hardik Pandya hit the same shot to send the ball into the stands.
Twitter went berserk as Hardik Pandya emulated MS Dhoni's helicopter shot:
