In the game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings, Glenn Maxwell’s explosive innings had put RCB in a commanding position. But CSK had found a way to make a comeback as Maheesh Theekshana was able to dismiss the dangerous batsman.
Maxwell had already scored 76 runs off just 36 balls, with the help of 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. However, Theekshana was able to restrict the big-hitting Australian in the 13th over of the innings.
The Sri Lankan spinner had been introduced into the attack and was immediately able to make an impact. Despite his success, MS Dhoni had not shown a lot of trust in Theekshana and had positioned himself in a comfortable spot to grab the catch when the opportunity presented itself.
Maxwell had been on a roll until then, scoring at a brisk pace and smashing the ball all around the park. But Theekshana’s carrom ball was too much for him to handle as he looked to slog-sweep it away. The ball went a mile up in the air, and MS Dhoni settled under it to take a comfortable catch. The wicket brought an end to a fantastic knock from Maxwell, who had scored 76 runs off just 36 balls, including 3 boundaries and 8 sixes.
