PBKS vs SRH, IPL 2024: Heinrich Klaasen impresses with quick stumping to dismiss Shikhar Dhawan - Watch

Match 23 of the IPL 2024 edition sawSunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) edge past Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a thrilling clash, at theMaharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Tuesday (April 9). During the game, Punjab were asked to chase down 183. The home side came very close, courtesy ofShashank Singh's 25-ball 46* and Ashutosh Sharma's 33* (15) but lost by two runs.

During Punjab's run-chase, the onus was on skipper Dhawan to provide a good platform to his remaining batters. While he lost Jonny Bairstow early, for a 3-ball 0, the left-hander also departed for 14 (16). Trying to up the ante in the powerplays, Dhawan was stumped out by Heinrich Klaasen off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's third over.

On the fourth ball of the 5th over, by Bhuvi, Dhawan danced down the track -- with keeper Klaasen standing close to the stumps -- to get himout. Here is the video:

After his dismissal, Punjab were tottering at 91-5 and needed 78 off the last 30 balls. However, Shashank -- who won his side a close game versus Gujarat Titans (GT) -- and Ashutosh gave SRH a scare before Pat Cummins & Co. emerged on top by a whisker.
