In a thrilling match of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2024, Eastern Delhi Riders cruised to a dominant 10-wicket victory over Central Delhi Kings. The highlight of the match, however, was a memorable moment involving young Delhi batter Yash Dhull.
Yash Dhull escorted with a unique send-off
Dhull, who walked out to bat in the first over of the game for Central Delhi Kings, was dismissed in a spectacular fashion by Himanshu Chauhan. Another young bowler, known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, delivered a perfect outswinger that caught the edge of Dhull’s bat. The ball flew to the wicketkeeper, Anuj Rawat, who took a comfortable catch.
As Dhull walked back to the pavilion, Chauhan celebrated his wicket with a unique gesture. He placed his finger on his lips, a silent message that could be interpreted in various ways. Some saw it as a taunt to Dhull, implying that he had been silenced. Others perceived it as a celebration of his own skill as if to say, “I’ve got you now.”
Regardless of the intended meaning, Chauhan’s gesture quickly went viral on social media, adding another layer of intrigue to an already exciting match.
