During the eighth match of the ongoing 14th season of the Indian Premier League between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai, Punjab Kings put on display a shambolic batting performance after being asked to bat first by Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
It was Super Kings pacer Deepak Chahar who registered career-best IPL bowling figures of 4-1-13-4 to justify Dhoni’s decision of winning the toss and electing to bowl.
Bowling with the new ball as he usually does, Chahal bowled a peach of a delivery to Mayank Agarwal (0) to draw first blood in the first over itself. What followed was Kings captain Lokesh Rahul being found wanting against Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s direct-hit in the third over.
In his third over, Chahar sent back the West Indian duo of Chris Gayle (10) and Nicholas Pooran (0) within a span of three deliveries to further dent the opposition at the Wankhede Stadium.
With Dhoni opting to bowl out Chahar, the 28-year old player once again stood tall on the trust of his captain as by dismissing the in-form Deepak Hooda (10) as Punjab were left reeling at 26/5 in the seventh over.
