Watch: On This day in 2013- MS Dhoni smashed the fastest fifty in CLT20

Watch: On This day in 2013- MS Dhoni smashed the fastest fifty in CLT20: MS Dhoni is the name of that vengeance which can give goosebumps to even the best bowlers of the world. Don’t believe me then go and ask Dale Steyn who has been on the receiving end of brutal attacks by MSD many a times. Dhoni turns even more venomous for the bowlers in T20 cricket. On 26th September 2013, MS Dhoni launched a barrel of ruthless strokes in his 19 ball 63 run knock against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Champions League T20.

And the carnival innings came at his hometown, Ranchi. When Dhoni came out to bat, Chennai Super Kings had lost their 3rd wicket on 115 runs. Dhoni showed his barbarous intent right from the second delivery he faced in the innings, when he thwarted JP Duminy’s flighted delivery straight down the ground for a mammoth six.

But it was just the beginning as it was Thisara Perera, who got the worst hammering of his life when his third over was robbed for a tournament-high 34 runs. And the chief destructor in command was none other than the Ranchi lad himself, MSD. Dhoni blasted him for 5 sixes in the over while he also bowled two wides in the over. The first ball went like a tracer bullet for a six over the long-on region. On the second ball Perera conceded only 2 runs, third one was thrashed off the pads over fine leg for a six while on the fourth ball came a six over the off-side. On the fifth ball, Dhoni hit the meatiest of the lot as the ball went sailing over the mid-wicket for a 101 meter long six. The last ball off the over was an upper-cut over third man for another six.

Mahi took only 16 balls to reach his fifty, the fastest in CLT20 history. His explosive innings included 8 sixes and a four.
