The incident took place in the 17th over of the RCB innings when MS Dhoni was behind the stumps while Matheesha Pathirana was bowling to Rajat Patidar. After being hit for a six by the RCB skipper on the third ball of the over, Pathirana bowled a slower delivery and Patidar failed to score.
It was bowled at 146.4kph and MS Dhoni could not collect it cleanly. The ball hit him on the upper part of his palm and he looked in pain straight away. While the former India skipper does not really show any emotions on the field, he could not help but grimace in pain.
Fortunately for CSK, the blow was not serious as their former skipper did not have to leave the field. He put on his gloves quickly and the action resumed.
