In a humorous event, Daryl Mitchell ran two runs as MS Dhoni refused a single. This happened in the final over of Chennai Super Kings’ innings. They were playing against Punjab Kings at Chepauk on Wednesday.
The event occurred on the third ball of the twentieth over. Arshdeep Singh delivered a low full ball, which MS Dhoni struck from the toe end of his bat to deep cover. Mitchell attempted a straightforward single, but MS Dhoni refused it. Meanwhile, Mitchell scored two runs after the fielder missed a direct hit.
Jio Cinema, the IPL’s official broadcaster, uploaded the video on X (previously Twitter) with the caption:
“Daryl, you have the best seat in the house! Relax”
Watch the funny incident below:
Later, MS Dhoni hit a six over the cover region with the last delivery before being run out by wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma while attempting to grab a double. With that, he was fired for the first time this season. The right-hander finished with 14 runs off 11 balls, including a six and four.
Mitchell did well in the last match. He scored his first half-century of the season. The team faced SunRisers Hyderabad. Chennai Super Kings won that match by a big margin of 78 runs.
