In a high-octane clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing IPL 2024, Tushar Deshpande emerged as the protagonist, wreaking havoc on SRH's top order with a stunning three-wicket haul.
Deshpande's spell caught SRH's dangerous opener, Abhishek Sharma, off guard, leaving the visitors reeling at 63 for 3 in 8 overs.
CSK, posting an imposing score of 213, set the stage for a riveting encounter. SRH's opening duo, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, appeared promising, but Deshpande's masterful bowling quickly dismantled their partnership.
In a crucial moment, Deshpande trapped Travis Head early, followed by the dismissal of Anmolpreet Singh in the very next ball.
The turning point arrived in the 4th over of the match as Deshpande claimed the prized scalp of Abhishek Sharma. With a back-of-a-length delivery, Deshpande lured Sharma into an ill-fated slash, resulting in a catch comfortably pouched by deep backward point.
