Before the IPL 2020, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni was away from competitive cricket for more than a year. But the lengthy hiatus doesn’t seem to have impacted his brilliance on the field.
On Wednesday (October 7), cricket fans got a glimpse of Dhoni’s agility behind the stumps as he grabbed a spectacular catch to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) Shivam Mavi.
In the 20th over of KKR’s innings, Mavi got an outside edge off Dwayne Bravo’s bowling. The ball was travelling but Dhoni dived at full length to his right, juggled the catch on the first attempt and then took the rebound with a sharp spring to his right.
Here’s the video:
Coming to the match, KKR posted 167/10 in 20 overs on the back of Rahul Tripathi’s 51-ball 81 (8 fours and 3 sixes).
For CSK, Karn Sharma (2/25), Sam Curran (2/26) and Shardul Thakur (2/28) were economical with the ball and claimed two wickets each.
