Ashutosh Sharma’s desperate dive not enough as MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja combine to run him out in CSK vs DC IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja combined to run out Ashutosh Sharma in the IPL 2025 clash between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, April 5. Ashutosh was run out while attempting his second run as the Super Kings struck twice in the last over.

The dismissal came in the 20th over of DC’s innings. Matheesha Pathirana bowled a fuller-length ball to Ashutosh, who played it towards the deep backward square. Jadeja rushed from mid-wicket to cover several yards before making a lightning throw to Dhoni in front of the stumps.

The wicketkeeper collected the ball and dislodged the bails in a flash. The right-hander made a desperate dive but in vain. With the runout, Jadeja again proved his genius on the field.

Apart from runout, Ravindra Jadeja also dismissed well-set DC opener Abishek Porel, who scored 33 off 20 balls.
