In a critical moment during the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) versus Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL), young pacer Anshul Kamboj delivered what commentators are calling a “peach of a delivery” to dismiss dangerous Australian batter Travis Head.
The dismissal, which was captured and shared on IPL’s official Instagram account, shows Kamboj’s yorker hitting the top of the off stump, sending the bails flying. The precision delivery drew immediate celebration from the CSK camp, considering Head’s reputation as one of SRH’s most destructive batsmen this season.
Crucial Breakthrough For Chennai
The IPL’s Instagram post caption described the moment perfectly: “TOP OF OFF STUMP! 🔥🎯 @anshulkambojak47 delivers a peach to knock over #TravisHead! That’s a massive breakthrough for #CSK!”
The dismissal came at a crucial juncture in the match being played at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, popularly known as Chepauk. Head’s wicket was particularly significant as CSK was looking to contain SRH’s powerful batting lineup.
Powerplay Pressure Builds
According to another recent post by the IPL, the dismissal was part of a strong powerplay performance by CSK, who managed to dismiss both Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head within the first six overs. The post confirmed that SRH was at 37/2 after the powerplay, highlighting the impact of these early wickets.
“Comeback 🔛 #CSK get the big wickets of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head in the powerplay ☝️☝️ #SRH 37/2 after 6 overs,” read the caption on that post.
Battle Of The Bowlers
The match has been a showcase of bowling talent from both sides. Earlier in the game, SRH’s Harshal Patel had made his mark by picking up crucial wickets for his team. The IPL shared his performance with the caption: “Dealing in W’s and 0’s ☝👌 Harshal Patel did what he does best to lead #SRH’s bowling charge 💪.”
Meanwhile, SRH’s bowling attack had also struck early when Mohammad Shami dismissed a CSK opener with the very first ball of the innings. “Aate hi kaam shuru kar diye! 🔥 @mdshami.11 strikes on the very first ball of the innings to give #SRH the perfect start in their quest for a maiden win at Chepauk!” noted another IPL post.
CSK’s Young Talent Shows Promise
Despite the strong bowling from SRH, CSK’s batting lineup showed moments of brilliance. Dewald Brevis impressed on his CSK debut with a quick-fire 42 runs from just 25 deliveries before being dismissed by a spectacular catch from Kamindu Mendis. Young batsman Ayush Mhatre also made a solid contribution with 30 runs off 19 balls before his dismissal.
Milestone Match For Dhoni
The match also marked a significant milestone for former CSK captain MS Dhoni, who was appearing in his 400th T20 match. “Yet another feather in the cap 👏 MS Dhoni takes to the field in his 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣th T20 match 🙌,” the IPL noted in a celebratory post.
As the match progresses, all eyes will be on how SRH recovers from the loss of their key batsman Travis Head, and whether Anshul Kamboj’s breakthrough moment will prove to be the turning point in CSK’s campaign to defend their home turf.
