[Watch] Daryl Mitchell’s hilarious dance to celebrate Ashutosh Sharma’s wicket in PBKS vs CSK IPL 2024 match

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Daryl Mitchell showed off his dance moves during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 game against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Dharamsala on Sunday.

Defending 167 runs, CSK were on top of the Punjab batters right from the word go. Tushar Deshpande provided the initial breakthroughs, dismissing Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw in the second over. Then, it was Ravindra Jadeja who dictated the proceedings with an excellent spell of left-arm spin bowling.

Jadeja dismissed Prabhsimran Singh in the ninth over before getting the better of Sam Curran and Ashutosh Sharma in the 13th over to almost push PBKS out of the contest. Curran was caught by Mitchell Santner at long off, while Ashutosh holed out to Simarjeet Singh at short third man.

Soon after Simarjeet completed the catch, Daryl Mitchell, who was stationed at point, was seen celebrating the wicket with a hilarious dance. The video went viral immediately and was shared multiple times on social media.
