Chennai: In the IPL 2026 match between the Chennai Super Kings and the Gujarat Titans, Sanju Samson displayed his prowess in the art of wicket-taking to dismiss Shubman Gill in the same style as his former skipper, MS Dhoni, dismissed him during the 2023 IPL final.
Noor Ahmad bowled a leg-side delivery in the seventh over. Gill missed the flick, and Samson, standing up to the stumps, caught the ball and, in the blink of an eye, removed the bails while Gill's foot was still off the ground. The third umpire called Gill dismissed. Gill scored 33.
Chepauk spectators applauded as they saw the Dhoni-like masterclass on replays. And fans took to social media, celebrating Samson as the "true heir of Thala." The incident gave CSK some vital momentum, but GT went on to easily win the game. The video has already received millions of views in a few hours.
