In the ongoing IPL 2024 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, leg-spinner Rahul Chahar showcased his prowess with a brilliant dismissal of Lucknow Super Giants batter Marcus Stoinis. Stoinis, known for his aggressive batting style, came out with determination, showcasing his array of shots against the Punjab Kings’ bowling attack. His intent was clear – to score quick runs and bolster his team’s total on their home ground.
In the 9th over, Stoinis took on Rahul Chahar, launching the second and third balls for sixes, displaying his attacking approach. However, Chahar remained unfazed and struck back with a stunning delivery that outsmarted the Australian all-rounder.
Chahar’s delivery was flatter and quicker, catching Stoinis off guard as he attempted to pull the ball. Unfortunately for Stoinis, he missed the delivery completely, resulting in the ball crashing into the leg stump. The leg-spinner’s skilful execution left Stoinis visibly disappointed and Chahar jubilant as he celebrated the crucial wicket.
