When Ishant stunned Mahi

During a recent interview, Ishant went on to say that in the last edition of the IPL, MS Dhoni used to make fun of him by saying that he cannot hit sixes because the tail-ender batsman does not have the ability to do so. However, Ishant was not the one to keep quiet and the following over, which was bowled by star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, Sharma punished him for a four and then dispatched him into the stands for a maximum. The tall pacer then mentioned that the things did not end there and when he turned behind, he observed that the legendary stumper was irritated with Jadeja.

Both MSD and Ishant will be representing Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals respectively in IPL 2020 that was supposed to get underway on March 29 but has now been indefinitely suspended due to the global pandemic.
