Mahendra Singh Dhoni's football skills left the sizeable crowd at the Andheri Sports Complex ecstatic as he curled one in, ala David Beckham, in a charity football match -- Celebrity Clasico 2017 -- between sports stars and Bollywood stars on Sunday.

Virat Kohli-led All Hearts side beat Abhishek Bachchan's All Stars team 7-3.

Dhoni curled over the opposition wall, a perfectly taken free-kick, which with filmstars' goalkeeper Mark Robinson had no answer to.

The former India captain scored another goal and was fittingly awarded 'Man of the match'.

Kohli's fans were also not disappointed as he sprinted down the right flank to score once and then did an impromptu bhangra jig.

Former India hockey captain PR Sreejesh and French Open mixed doubles champion Rohan Bopanna were also part of Kohli's team.
