Watch: Vintage Yuvraj Singh celebrates after running out MS Dhoni
Rising Pune Supergiants were pretty much in the hunt in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad until their skipper MS Dhoni was at the crease. With 15 needed off the last over, all eyes were on the RPS skipper to take his side home.
Dhoni showed some promise as he bludgeoned the 4th delivery of the over bowled by Ashish Nehra for a massive six. With 6 needed off the last two balls, the ball was perhaps in Dhoni’s court who is renowned for finishing matches. MS Dhoni was expecting a yorker as the fielder was set right there for the block hole delivery. Dhoni was only surprised to see a bumper coming his way, which he top edged to the third man. The ball looped back to short third man where a running Barinder Sran made the throw to the striker’s end.
Dhoni completed the first run quickly, but as a result of some great presence of mind shown by Yuvraj Singh, he was run-out off the fifth ball which shifted the match in Hyderabad’s favour.
The throw was wayward but a running Yuvraj Singh came running from the backward point to take the throw and disturbed the wood work. MS Dhoni was found short of his crease and in the span of one delivery, the match shifted from RPS’s corner to the SRH one.
The best part of the scene was the celebration that followed. A vintage Yuvraj Singh was on display as he ran across the pitch with aggression and joy. SRH skipper David Warner jumped in ecstasy and the entire stadium knew the game was as good as gone for RPS.
