Winning the toss, the Super Kings encountered a shaky start, but Daryl Mitchell and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 57-run partnership for the second wicket revived their innings.
However, Punjab’s Rahul Chahar and Harshal Patel changed the game’s momentum. Ravindra Jadeja fought valiantly as wickets kept falling from the other end, including MS Dhoni’s dismissal for a golden duck by Harshal Patel.
In the 19th over, Harshal Thakur had already dismissed Shardul Thakur on the third ball when he produced a remarkable delivery to dismiss MS Dhoni.
Coming over the wicket, he delivered a dipping off-cutter spot-on. Dhoni attempted a slog but mistimed it, resulting in the ball crashing into his stumps.
Deceived 🤯
