Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) opener Shikhar Dhawan was bowled out on a golden duck during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 Qualifier 1 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 22. Dhawan was bowled out on the first ball of the first over of SRH’s innings.
Deepak Chahar started the proceedings for CSK as he bowled a superb out-swinger to Dhawan. The left-handed batsman tried to push the delivery but ended up dragging it back onto his stumps, off the inside edge.
Following Dhawan’s dismissal, Twitterati trolled him and advised him to focus on his batting rather being socially active.
