MS Dhoni on Sunday (April 3) turned back the clock with an athletic run out of Bhanuka Rajapaksa in an IPL 2022 clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

During the second over of PBKS’ innings, Rajapaksa pushed the ball to the left of the bowler and rushed for a quick single. Chris Jordan collected the ball on his follow through and threw it at the striker's end but missed.
