In a dramatic turn during the IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Tushar Deshpande, a former CSK pacer now playing for RR, delivered a stunning catch to dismiss MS Dhoni, marking a poignant moment in the game.
Dhoni, who entered the fray in the 14th over, struggled to find his rhythm, managing only 16 runs off 17 balls. His innings concluded in the final over when he attempted to sweep a low full toss from Akash Madhwal. Deshpande, stationed at short fine-leg, showcased remarkable reflexes and took the catch, thereby ending Dhoni’s innings and contributing to CSK’s total of 187/8.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, moments like these underscore the blend of athleticism, strategy, and personal narratives that make the league a captivating spectacle for fans worldwide.
