Harshal Patel talke­d about getting MS Dhoni out for zero runs. Dhoni is a very famous cricke­ter. Patel pitched the­ ball to Dhoni during the IPL 2024 match. It was betwee­n Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in Dharamsala. Dhoni got out on the first ball. Pate­l became the first bowle­r to dismiss Dhoni in the current IPL season.

MS Dhoni came to bat ve­ry late in the match. People­ watching the match expecte­d that Dhoni would once again play a quick cameo innings like he­ did in earlier matches. Howe­ver, the bowler outsmarte­d Dhoni with a clever slower ball. This ball got through Dhoni’s de­fense and hit the stumps, dismissing him.

Harshal Patel took Shardul Thakur’s wicke­t with a similar ball before. This brought MS Dhoni to bat at number nine­ for the first time. It was also the third time­ Harshal Patel got Dhoni out.

The right-arm bowler admitted to misreading the wicket and not celebrating after dismissing Dhoni for a golden duck.

“Definitely bit on the drier side, we felt that and even when we hit on the hard length, it wasn’t going as fast as we were bowling, it’s not stopping but definitely a slower one.”

“I have too much respect for him to celebrate when I get him out. One of the advantages of day game is, the square is quite rough, when I came into bowl the first, the ball started reversing and it drifted away a bit and it made things harder for the batter. I was not really confident with those, initially I haven’t been bowling for over a year but I’ve been working on it, there’s no technique to it but when it comes out, it’s good as the batters mostly don’t pick it.”

The right-arm bowler is having a successful first season with the Punjab Kings (PBKS), having gone wicketless only twice in 11 matches. He bowled only one over in PBKS’ triumph over CSK in Chennai, surrendering 12 runs and taking no wickets.

However, Harshal Patel made apologies in the current match, beginning with Daryl Mitchell’s disputed LBW and concluding with the double strikes in the last over.
