In the 8th over of the match, Shankar nicked a delivery from Daryl Mitchell outside off-stump. Despite the ball traveling swiftly towards Dhoni’s right, the 42-year-old veteran showcased his agility by leaping and securing the catch with both hands. The crowd of over 33,000 spectators inside the stadium erupted into one of the most thunderous cheers ever witnessed in IPL history.
