IPL 2023, MI vs CSK: Watch Dwaine Pretorius and Ruturaj Gaikwad combine to dismiss Tristan Stubbs

Chennai Super Kings’ Dwaine Pretorius and Ruturaj Gaikwad combined to dismiss Tristan Stubbs with a relay catch in the first innings of their seven-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. The incident occurred in the 16th over of the Mumbai Indians innings, with Stubbs batting on five. He hoisted a slower, full delivery from Sisanda Magala which seemed destined to land just beyond the boundary rope. But Pretorius caught the ball with two hands. But he was off balance and realising that he was going to fall over the rope, Pretorius threw the ball back. Thankfully for CSK, Gaikwad was at hand to complete the catch. Team work at its best 🙌🏻 Dwaine Pretorius and Ruturaj Gaikwad combine to dismiss Tristan Stubbs 👌🏻👌🏻 WATCH 🔽 #TATAIPL | #MIvCSK pic.twitter....
