PBKS vs CSK: Dhoni and Jitesh Sharma together made a shameful record!
- Chennai defeated Punjab Kings by 28 runs
- The wicketkeepers of both the teams hunted the golden duck.
- This happened for the second time in the history of IPL
The 53rd match of IPL 2024 was played between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings. Chennai won this match by 28 runs. In the match, former CSK captain and veteran wicketkeeper batsman MS Dhoni became the victim of a golden duck. He was clean bowled by fast bowler Harshal Patel on the fifth ball of the 19th over. At the same time, PBKS wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma also lost his wicket on the very first ball. He was caught by Dhoni on the fourth ball of the 10th over by Simarjit Singh. Dhoni and Jitesh together have made a shameful record.
A shameful record registered in Dhoni's name!
Actually, this happened for the second time in the history of IPL, when the wicketkeepers of both the teams became victims of golden duck in a match. Earlier in 2012, this scene was seen in the match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. Dinesh Karthik and Shrivats Goswami became victims of golden ducks in that match. At that time Karthik was the wicketkeeper of Mumbai and Goswami was the wicketkeeper of Rajasthan team. However, as soon as Dhoni caught Jitesh, he made a big record in his name. He has become the first wicketkeeper to take 150 catches in IPL. Dhoni has taken a total of 192 wickets in IPL, out of which 42 are stumpings.
