MS Dhoni produced an excellent direct hit to get rid of Dhrul Jurel vs RR on Thursday.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni produced an excellent throw to dismiss the dangerous-looking Dhruv Jurel against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, April 27.

The incident took place in the 20th over of the Royals' innings. Matheesha Pathirana bowled a wide delivery outside leg stump. Devdutt Padikkal tried to flick it but missed it altogether and kept running.

Dhoni dived to his right to stop the ball. The 41-year-old immediately produced a direct hit, and non-striker Dhruv Jurel was caught off guard at the striker’s end. It was a terrific reflex from the wicketkeeper.

Watch the dismissal below:

Jurel scored 34 runs off just 15 balls at a strike rate of 226.67, including two sixes and three boundaries. The 22-year-old also shared a 48-run partnership off just 20 balls with Devdutt Padikkal for the fifth wicket to ensure a 200+ total for the hosts.
