The incident took place in the penultimate ball of the first innings. Dwayne Bravo, who celebrates his 37th birthday today, bowled a full delivery outside the off-stump which invited a big shot from Shivam Mavi. The KKR youngster completely missed the ball and was only able to find the edge. Nevertheless, the ball still looked all set to cross the third-man boundary. However, Dhoni, who as usual took his one-glove off in the end overs, dived on his right and stopped the ball. As the first attempt wasn’t clean, the ball lobed up in the air.

For CSK, Bravo put up an exhibition of brilliant death bowling and scalped three wickets.
