WATCH: Dhoni's 'Slapping Shot' that almost took the umpire's head along

That was the second boundary conceded by the opposition skipper and eventually, 13 runs came from the over

‘You may love him or hate him, but you just can’t ignore him’ – that’s what Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all about. His intelligence on the cricket field is par excellence and the way he executes his plans is simply incomparable.

On Friday, firstly he proved his presence of mind with the changes in the field position he asked Rohit Sharma to make to dismiss Shakib Al Hasan. And then, his mighty show with the bat took spectators’ hearts away.

And then came the 32nd over when one of his cracking shot turned out to be so lethal that the on-field umpire nearly survived. It was free hit which Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza conceded over an overstepped no-ball. Dhoni waited for that slower one to arrive and powered it in his trademark style.

For a moment, umpire was in danger; he showed good reflexes to move out of the way.

Here’s the video:

Dhoni received a massive welcome for the Dubai crowd when he stepped into the field. In return, the Indian wicketkeeper entertained with some mighty shocks but unfortunately, h failed to finish the match. He tried to hit a biggie when India needed 5 runs to win.

However, he was caught by Mohammad Mithun at the deep cover and returned to the dressing room after adding 33 runs against his name.
