IPL 2019: Faf Du Plessis-Dhruv Shorey Take Stunning Relay Catch to Dismiss Marcus Stoinis During Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings | WATCH VIDEO

IPL 2019: Stoinis' wicket could prove to be the turning point.

IPL 2019: Move over Miller-Axar’s relay catch, Dhruv Shorey and Faf Du Plessis did something similar to dismiss Marcus Stoinis for 14 off 13 balls. It was a wicket at the right time for CSK, Stoinis is dangerous and he was looking to tee-off. Stoinis heaved it down the ground, Faf held his balance at the fence and scooped it up for the man at long-on – Shorey – who was close by to take it. Credit to Shorey as well not to distract Faf and also linger closeby in case something like this happened. It was a superb presence of mind from Faf to throw the ball away in the nick of the time.

Here is the wicket:
