IPL 2024: [Watch] MS Dhoni’s Magnificent Effort to Run Out Dangerous Anuj Rawat in CSK vs RCB Match

Witness MS Dhoni's remarkable run-out to dismiss the dangerous Anuj Rawat CSK vs RCB.

In a thrilling IPL 2024 opener between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the veteran wicket-keeper-batter MS Dhoni showcased his timeless brilliance with a magnificent run-out.

RCB’s young sensation, Anuj Rawat, stole the spotlight with a blazing innings, smashing 48 runs off just 25 deliveries to lift his team from the brink of collapse. However, his fireworks came to an abrupt end on the final ball of the innings, courtesy of Dhoni’s lightning-quick reflexes.

Despite a batting collapse earlier in the innings, RCB staged a commendable fightback, propelled by the partnership between Dinesh Karthik and Rawat. However, their hopes of posting a daunting total were dashed in the final over when CSK‘s skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad entrusted the ball to Tushar Deshpande.

Deshpande, who had a forgettable outing, struggled to contain the RCB batters and conceded 47 runs in his spell. In a last-ditch effort to capitalize on the final delivery, Karthik missed a full-length delivery, prompting Rawat to attempt a quick single.

It was in this crucial moment that Dhoni exhibited his unparalleled skill and experience with the gloves. As the RCB batters scrambled for a run, Dhoni pounced on the opportunity, collecting the ball cleanly and quickly hitting the stumps with pinpoint accuracy.
