Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Matheesha Pathirana struck the stumps twice in one over with his thunderbolts in the ongoing IPL 2024 clash against the Delhi Capitals in Vishakhapatnam on Sunday. The 21-year-old rearranged the stumps of both Mitchell Marsh and Tristan Stubbs to keep the Capitals in check after losing an important toss.

The incident occurred in the 15th over as Ruturaj Gaikwad re-introduced Pathirana into the attack. Marsh had slammed the youngster for a boundary in the previous delivery, but Pathirana responded with a perfect delivery as the right-hander missed it only to see his middle stump uproot out of the ground. Stubbs played only one delivery before Pathirana uprooted his off pole.

David Warner and Prthivi Shaw made a strong start after the Capitals won the toss, with the former hitting a 32-ball half-century before Pathirana took an outstanding catch to send him packing. Prithvi Shaw was the next to go for 42 as MS Dhoni took a sharp catch behind the stumps.

Half-centuries from David Warner and Rishabh Pant propel Delhi Capitals to a formidable score:

Meanwhile, the Capitals finally finished with 191-5 in their stipulated 20 overs after opting to bat. The 93-run opening stand between Warner and Shaw proved to be the foundation of the same. After Marsh and Stubbs perished in the first over, Pant took control of the proceedings and scored his first fifty of the tournament.

It remains to be seen if the total of 191 will be enough to inflict the tournament's first defeat on Chennai.
