[Watch] MS Dhoni takes sharp catch to end Prithvi Shaw's heroics in DC vs CSK IPL 2024 clash, achieves big record
MS Dhoni took a sharp catch to dismiss dangerous-looking Prithvi Shaw during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings in Vizag on Sunday. As a result, Shaw departed for 43 runs off 27 balls in an innings laced with two sixes and as many boundaries. With that, Dhoni completed 300 dismissals in T20s, most in the format.
The dismissal came during the 11th over of the Capitals' innings. Ravindra Jadeja bowled a quicker delivery spinning away from the right-hander, and Prithvi tried to play a cut shot but only managed a faint edge.
There was a big deflection but MS Dhoni kept his hands soft to complete the catch. The right-hander walked off before the umpire gave the decision. The wicket came after Prithvi Shaw slammed a six off Jadeja over the mid-wicket fielder.
