During a thrilling match against the Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) captain, MS Dhoni, showed why he’s considered one of the greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen in cricket history. Despite being 42 years old, Dhoni’s athleticism and agility were on full display as he took a stunning catch behind the stumps.
The moment came when CSK’s bowler, Daryl Mitchell, delivered a full delivery around the off-stump to Gujarat Titans’ batsman, Vijay Shankar. Shankar attempted a straight drive but only managed to edge the ball. In a split-second reaction, Dhoni dived to his right and pulled off a spectacular catch, sending Shankar back to the pavilion.
The Chepauk crowd, known for their passionate support of CSK, erupted in joy at the veteran’s remarkable effort. Dhoni’s catch not only showcased his skill and agility but also his unwavering commitment to the game, proving that age is just a number for the legendary cricketer.
CSK went on to post a commendable total of 206 for 6, with Rachin Ravindra starting with a bang and Shivam Dube finishing with a flourish. CSK, the defending champions, won the IPL 2023 title after beating Gujarat Titans in the title clash last season.
