IPL 2023: WATCH- MS Dhoni’s brilliant ploy leads to Rohit Sharma’s dismissal for a duck in CSK v MI match

Rohit Sharma now has the most ducks in IPL- 16.

Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma’s terrible run in IPL 2023 continued in the IPL 2023, as he registered a 3-ball duck against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 49^th match of the tournament, which is being played at the M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on May 6, 2023.

The two teams had previously met on April 8^th at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai and CSK prevailed by 7 wickets.

However, MI now visited Chennai to seek revenge for that loss after defeating Punjab Kings by 6 wickets despite chasing 215 to win in their last encounter.

CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss at Chepauk and chose to bowl first and said that CSK was unchanged. MI, on the other hand, made one change as Tilak Varma missed out due to a niggle and Tristan Stubbs came into the XI.

MI opened with Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green and lost their wickets quickly as Tushar Deshpande and Deepak Chahar dismissed them for 6 and 7 respectively. Rohit Sharma, who had scored a duck against PBKS came down the order at no.3.

However, the clever MS Dhoni plotted his dismissal well as he came up to the stumps when Chahar was bowling and, in an attempt, to take advantage of the same, Rohit played a false shot.

This resulted in the ball missing his bat and instead took his glove and plopped to the point where Ravindra Jadeja took an easy catch, sending the MI skipper back for a duck.

This was Rohit’s 16^th duck in IPL and he now has the most scores of zero in IPL history.
