It is not just the general public that was won over by Mahendra Singh Dhoni's sensational last-ball finish for Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Saturday. Even Harsh Goenka, the brother of RPS owner Sanjiv Goenka is suddenly a fan, waxing eloquent over Twitter as to how 'masterful' Dhoni's 34-ball 61 knock was and how the former India and RPS captain was the greatest finisher in the game of cricket."Masterful innings by Dhoni. Great to see him back in form. Nobody can be a greater finisher. Takes @RPSupergiants to a nail-biting win," Goenka tweeted after Dhoni had crafted a brilliant come-from-behind win for RPS.

So much so that Dhoni's wife, Sakshi, took to putting up a picture of her on social media in a Chennai Super Kings helmet, with a message which was interpreted as an response to Goenka's remarks.
