IPL 2024: MS Dhoni drops the catch of Andre Russell© Twitter
Chennai Super Kings produced a very controlled bowling performance as Kolkata Knight Riders could manage only 137/9 in 20 overs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday. After opting to bowl, CSK bowlers , particularly Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande, kept KKR quiet as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Both the bowlers took three wickets each as the dangerous KKR batting line-up was left with a tough job at hand. Towards the end of the innings, a rare incident happened – of that of MS Dhoni dropping a catch.
It happened in the 18th over of Mustafizur Rahman. The Bangladesh star bowled one slow off-cutter as KKR’s Andre Rusell got a thick outside-edge. Dhoni was slow and leapt with to his right. The ball hit the gloves and went down. Mustafizur Rahman was not pleased while the commentator said: “Even sound effects could not produce so much silence.”
