India clinched the Asia Cup trophy for a record sixth time after beating hosts Bangladesh by eight wickets, riding on Shikhar Dhawan's scintillating 44- ball-60 in a rain-truncated final, in Mirpur on Sunday.
In the last two overs, India required 19 runs. If the partisan 25,000 supporters harboured any hopes of a comeback, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (20 not out in 6 balls) dashed it with a lethal six over deep mid-wicket off Al-Amin and another terrific blow over deep extra cover before finishing the match with another six.
Ahead of the match, a picture showing Dhoni's severed head being clutched by Bangladeshi bowler Taksin Ahmed, had gone viral and got Dhoni fans riled up.
Winning the match was just the boost that the fans needed, as Dhoni fans unleashed memes with a vengeance. Here are a few.
