Shikhar Dhawan’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) pulled off a thrilling 4-wicket win in a final-ball nail-biting thriller over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday (April 20) at Chepauk’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Chasing a target of 201 for the win, Punjab Kings needed 9 runs off the 20th over. CSK skipper MS Dhoni handed over the ball to Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana who bowled some remarkable deliveries but Shahrukh Khan (2 runs in 3 balls) alongside Sikandar Raza (13 runs in 7 balls) managed to hold their nerves to seal a memorable win for Punjab. Punjab Kings are now the first team to chase a target of 200-plus against four-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings at their home ground Chepauk. By virtue of this win, Punjab Kings moved to the fifth spot in IPL 2023 Points Table with 10 points, keeping the playoffs scenario competitive as ever.
Apart from a thrilling finish in Punjab vs Chennai IPL 2023 match, one thing which grabbed the attention of fans all over the world was MS Dhoni’s cheeky stumping to get rid of PBKS star Prabhsimran Singh. Dhoni showed his full swag as he waited for a few seconds before dislodging the bails, sending dangerous looking Prabhsimran packing for a well-made 42.
Here’s how fans on Twitter reacted to Mahi’s ‘sheer swag’ behind the stumps…
