Delhi Capitals (DC) star player Shikhar Dhawan exhibited top-class fielding in the ongoing match against Chennai Suꦬper Kings (CSK🙈) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The 35-year-old grabbed not one but as many as three catches in the first innings. However, his second catch, which removed the dangerous looking CSK all-rounder Moeen Ali, captured the maximum attention.
It all happened in the ninth over of the match, when Moeen took DC spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to the cleaners. The left-handed batsman had smashed the offie for back-to-back sixes on the first two balls of thꦺe over.
However, on the third deliveryᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ, Moeen attempted a cheeky little reverse sweep but got h🎃imself into a terrible position. The ball had some extra bounce as it hit at the top of the bat, and the edge went towards the sky.
Dhawan, who was positioned at short third man, circled around and ran quickly from his position. H൲e kept his eyes on the white leath🌟er and completed a phenomenal catch.

Apart from Raina, Moeen and Ambati Rayudu made valuable contribut📖ions. While Moeen scored 36 off 24 balls, Rayudu made 23 off 16 deliveries.
