CSK vs LSG: Marcus Stoinis says 'what just happened' after Jadeja leaves him stunned-WATCH
Marcus Stoinis was removed for 6 off 4 balls, becoming LSG's fourth batter to be dismissed early on in the innings. With this, Jadeja got his first wicket.
Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja bowled a peach of a delivery to dismiss Marcus Stoinis of Lucknow Super Giants during Match 45 of IPL 2023 on Wednesday. Jadeja bowled a fullish outside leg ball to Stoinis, who did not expect it to turn a lot. Stoinis was in disbelief after he brought his bat down to play a straight drive but missed the ball as it turned all the way across to strike the top of the off stump.
Jadeja dismissed Stoinis for 6 off 4 balls, becoming LSG’s fourth batter to be dismissed rather early in the innings. Jaddu picked up his first wicket of the match with his top-notch bowling. The expression on Stoinis’ face was that of shock as he didn’t expect the ball to turn so sharply. A video of the dismissal has been shared on Twitter by the official handle of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The clip also showed Dhoni standing behind the stumps.
