[Watch] Deepak Hooda takes a flying catch to dismiss Daryl Mitchell for just 11 off 10 in CSK vs LSG IPL 2024 match
Deepak Hooda took a brilliant catch to dismiss Daryl Mitchell cheaply in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday (April 23). Mitchell departed for just 11 runs off 10 balls to leave CSK at 49/2 after 5.2 overs.
The dismissal came in the sixth over of CSK innings. Yash Thakur bowled back of a length delivery and Mitchell tried to pull it in front of square. Hooda dived to his left from mid-wicket to complete a sensational catch. That came after Thakur dropped Mitchell in the second over.
