In a thrilling encounter between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 17 of IPL 2025, the iconic duo of MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja delivered a breathtaking moment in the final over that left fans in awe. The electrifying piece of fielding saw Ashutosh Sharma run out in dramatic fashion, showcasing the unmatched synergy and sharp reflexes of two of India’s most celebrated cricketers.
A sensational run-out by MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja
It was the third ball of the 20th over in DC’s innings, bowled by Matheesha Pathirana. Ashutosh, looking to push for a second run, nudged the ball with a thick inside edge towards deep square leg. But what followed was a classic Jadeja-Dhoni masterclass. Jadeja sprinted in, picked up the ball in one swift motion and fired a flat throw straight next to the stumps. Dhoni, ever alert behind the wickets, whipped the bails off in a flash. Ashutosh dived full stretch but was caught short, his desperate attempt to complete the second run falling just inches short of the crease.
This moment underlined the enduring brilliance of the Dhoni-Jadeja partnership. Even in the twilight of their careers, the duo continues to produce moments of magic that turn the tide in CSK’s favour. Fans on social media were quick to flood timelines with admiration, praising the veterans for their alertness, precision, and game awareness.
