[Watch] KL Rahul Recreates Dhoni’s Iconic World Cup Moment with Stylish Finish

Australia suffered a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Team India on Friday, September 20th, in the first ODI of the three-game series, hosted at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

It was captain KL Rahul who provided the fireworks in the run-chase, launching a spectacular six over long off against Sean Abbott, a moment that instantly brought back memories of MS Dhoni’s historic World Cup-winning six in 2011.
