Respect for legend: Harshal Patel refrains from celebrating after taking MS Dhoni’s wicket

However, as a sign of respect, Harshal Patel did not celebrate after claiming Dhoni’s wicket. The star bowler just raised his hands in the air, as if being thankful for creating a memory forever. A wicket of Dhoni isn’t just a dream for many bowlers, but is a memory that will be itched in the history forever. Despite his amazing feat, Harshal decided not to celebrate Dhoni’s wicket and instead show respect to the legend.

MS Dhoni, who had walked out to bat at No. 9, was completely foxed by a slower delivery. The ball went right through his defense and crashed into the off-stump. While fans were left completely stunned, MS quietly walked back into the pavilion.

Talking about the match, CSK’s Ravindra Jadeja gave an all-round performance for the team as he scored a perfect 43 off just 26 balls and scalped three big wickets. Despite their good form, PBKS failed to capitalize as their star players like Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Sam Curran and others failed to perform well.

Meanwhile, CSK is in the third place in the points table and is all set to clash with Gujarat Titans on Friday while PBKS will face RCB on Thursday.
