IPL 2024: Chennai silenced as MS Dhoni drops dangerous Andre Russell's catch, video gone viral
Xtra Time Web Desk: It seems like Chennai Super Kings put up an impressive bowling display against Kolkata Knight Riders, restricting them to a total of 137/9 in their allotted 20 overs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Opting to bowl first, CSK's bowlers, particularly Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande, exerted control over the game, keeping KKR's batsmen in check and taking wickets at regular intervals. Both Jadeja and Deshpande claimed three wickets each, putting KKR's formidable batting lineup under pressure.

However, amidst the controlled bowling performance, there was a rare incident involving MS Dhoni. In the 18th over bowled by Mustafizur Rahman, KKR's Andre Russell edged a slow off-cutter, resulting in a catch opportunity for Dhoni behind the stumps.
Unfortunately, Dhoni couldn't grasp the chance as the ball hit his gloves and went down. This unexpected lapse from Dhoni, known for his safe hands, surprised many, including Mustafizur Rahman, who expressed his disappointment. The commentator aptly captured the atmosphere, remarking, "Even sound effects could not produce so much silence," highlighting the unusual hush that fell over the stadium following the missed catch.
