Punjab Kings wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma became the victim of severe online abuse after running out MS Dhoni during the IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday. Dhoni came to bat with 2 overs left and was out on the last ball of the innings after scoring 14 runs in 11 balls. Dhoni played a low full toss from Arshdeep Singh straight to the fielder at short third man, but before he could complete the second run, Jitesh collected the throw and blew the bails.

While the run-out was a good job by the youngster, some fans were not happy with Jitesh dismissing Dhoni for the first time in IPL 2024.

“It’s good that you were not selected for the World Cup, you ran out Thala, what difference does one run make?” One user wrote on Instagram.

“You should have understood friend, people watch the match for him. How bad we must be feeling, you ran him out and on top of that his leg is also injured. Didn’t expect this from you friend,” another user commented.

Talking about the match, Punjab Kings kept their IPL 2024 playoff dream alive by defeating Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets.
