Chennai Super Kings' keeper-batter MS Dhoni dropped a fairly simple catch during the IPL 2024 clash against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 clash at the Chepauk on Monday. A video of the same has gone viral as the netizens have been stunned by the drop, given the 42-year-old's keeping standards.
The incident occurred in the 18th over of the innings as Andre Russell chased a wide delivery from Mustafizur Rahman and it caught the toe end of his bat. Dhoni flung himself to his right, but did not quite put in the dive as the ball touched his glove before going to the ground, denying him a wicket.
Nevertheless, it didn't cost the Super Kings a lot as Tushar Deshpande got the better of the Jamaican in the very next over as the right-hander holed out to Daryl Mitchell at long-on.
