Every cricketer has his share of ups and downs and it's important to stay focused and keep working hard. Such was the situation at the crucial encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings when Mahendra Singh Dhoni missed an easy catch, giving Andre Rusell a lifeline.

‌After winning the toss, Chennai had a brilliant start as Tushar Deshpande dismissed Kolkata's opener Phil Salt with the very first delivery of the match. However, despite the initial setback, Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi stabilized the KKR innings with a solid 56-run partnership. Nevertheless, KKR's batting lineup faced a sudden collapse thereafter, losing quick wickets including those of Angkrish, Narine, and Venkatesh. The woes continued as they further stumbled with the dismissals of Ramandeep Singh and Rinku Singh, leaving them at 112/6 by the 17th over. All eyes were on KKR's captain Shreyas Iyer and Andre Russell to ignite their batting momentum. However, a crucial moment arrived when Russell was given a reprieve courtesy of MS Dhoni's missed catch providing the Caribbean all-rounder with a lifeline.

In the 18th over, Mustafizur Rahman delivered a slower ball outside the off stump, which Russell attempted to dispatch. Unfortunately, he failed to connect properly resulting in a thick outside edge. Meanwhile, Dhoni, typically sharp behind the stumps, seemed a bit sluggish in his reaction attempting to grab the ball with his right hand only for it to pop out of his glove.

The incident quickly sparked reactions on social media, with the Twitterverse buzzing about Dhoni's rare missed opportunity.

Dropped!

Misjudged

Dhoni misjudged the pace of that catch there and over committed, the ball ended up hitting him on the wrist. The slowness of the ball deceived both the batter and keeper. That was some cutter from Mustafizur. His bowling is made for Chennai kind of pitches.
