Interesting information has come out about the Punjab team player who was run out by CSK wicket keeper Dhoni.
The 15th league match of the IPL series was played at the Mumbai ground yesterday. The Jadeja-led Chennai Super Kings clashed with the Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings. CSK won the toss and invited Punjab to bat.
Batting first, Punjab scored 180 for 8 in 20 overs. Livingston top-scored with 61 and Shikhar Dhawan with 53. For CSK, Chris Jordan and Pretorius took 2 wickets each, while captain Jadeja, Bravo and Mukesh Chaudhary took 1 wicket each.
Batting next, CSK lost all their wickets for just 126 runs in 18 overs. Punjab won by 54 runs. CSK's Shivam Dube was the only batsman to score a maximum of 57 runs.
Video of Dhoni, the former CSK captain and wicket-keeper in the match, running out Punjab Kings batsman Bhanuka Rajapaksa has gone viral on the internet. The Punjab Kings have taken Sri Lankan player Bhanuka Rajapaksa for Rs 50 lakh in the IPL auction.
The 30-year-old claimed that he was not given the right opportunity in the Sri Lankan team due to lack of proper fitness. So Bhanuka Rajapaksa announced his sudden retirement from international cricket. Following this, some of the executives of the Sri Lankan cricket team talked to him and withdrew his retirement.
He is currently part of the Punjab team in the IPL series and is showing great performance. He hit 43 off 22 balls (4 sixes, 2 fours) in the previous match against Bangalore and was instrumental in the team's victory. Despite facing a few balls, he would increase the run rate to fours and sixes. So his wicket was seen as important to the CSK team. He was dismissed for 9 in the match. It's worth noting that it has a sixer.
