Punjab Kings’ Harshal Patel became the first bowler to dismiss MS Dhoni in the 2024 Indian Premier League season, sending the legendary batter back to the pavilion for a golden duck. Dhoni, batting at an unusual No. 9 position for Chennai Super Kings, fell to Patel’s expertly executed slower yorker, marking his fourth golden duck in IPL history and his first since the 2023 final. Despite the significant achievement, Patel remained humble and respectful, expressing his admiration for Dhoni in a post-match interview.
