Marcus Stoinis dismissed the in-form Shivam Dube in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday (April 19).
The Aussie all-rounder sent back Dube for just three runs off eight balls as the Super Giants continued their stronghold against the defending champions Super Kings in the fixture.
The dismissal came during the 12th over of CSK's innings. Stoinis bowled a short delivery and Dube went for a powerful pull towards mid-wicket. The left-hander, though, failed to middle the delivery and ended up getting an edge that went high inside the 30-yard circle. LSG skipper KL Rahul made the call and completed the catch.
With the wicket, LSG reduced the visitors to 87/4 after 11.1 overs.
Watch the dismissal below:
For the unversed, Shivam Dube has been in sublime form with 245 runs in seven games, including two half-centuries against Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, at a strike rate of 157.
