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.

Eastern Delhi Riders dominate their season opener 

Meanwhile, Eastern Delhi Riders made light work of Central Delhi Kings’ bowling attack. Their openers, Anuj and Himmat, put on an impressive partnership, scoring 62 runs without losing a wicket. Rawat finished the match with 25 runs, while Singh contributed 31.

Whereas the Kings batting lineup had a disappointing outing. They were bowled out for just 61 runs in 8.1 overs. Dipesh Balyan was the top scorer with 23 runs, but no other batter could make a significant contribution.

The defeat for the Central Delhi Kings was a setback in their DPL campaign. However, they will be looking to bounce back in their next match. Eastern Delhi Riders, on the other hand, will be riding high on their victory and will be aiming to continue their winning streak.

This match between Eastern Delhi Riders and Central Delhi Kings was a thrilling encounter that showcased the talent and competitiveness of the Delhi Premier League. The unique gesture from Himanshu Chauhan added an extra layer of excitement to the game, making it a memorable moment for fans.
