The six was the exact mirror image of Dhoni's famous and trademark helicopter shot.

Ishan was all blitz as he tore into celebrated India wrist spinner Kuldeep, smacking him for four successive sixes and taking 25 runs off the 14th over.
Mumbai Indians rode on Ishan's onslaught to record an emphatic 102-run victory - the largest margin in the ongoing edition of the IPL.
The win, Mumbai's third on the spin, took Rohit Sharma and Co. level on points with Kolkata (10 points from 11 games) and fourth in the points table courtesy a better net run rate.
Kolkata, who lost to the same opponents in the space of three days, dropped a rung to fifth.
Mumbai, who remain in the reckoning for the play-offs, have now won 18 times, and eighth on the row, in 23 meetings with Kolkata.
