WATCH: Lalit Yadav’s sensational reflex action catch sends Rahane back in the hut

Ajinkya Rahane has struck 266 runs in 10 innings for the Chennai Super Kings this season at a strike rate of 171.60, making him a crucial wicket for the opposition to bag early and avoid collateral damage.
On Wednesday, Lalit Yadav managed to do just that. With Rahane batting at 21 off 19 deliveries, Lalit came over the wicket and bowled a fullish delivery to the CSK batter.
Pitched in between the middle and leg, Rahane advanced down the track, looking to smack the ball but the right-arm off break bowler would cling onto it one handed with a sensational dive to his right. The broadcasters would later share that Lalit’s reaction time would be 0.5 seconds. Here’s the take:

THAT. WAS. STUNNING! 👌 👌
Relive that sensational catch from @LalitYadav03 👍 👍

While Rahane would be dismissed in the 12the over, cameos from Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni helped CSK finish with 167/8 on the board at the end of their 20 overs.
For Delhi, Mitchell Marsh (3/18) and Axar Patel (2/27) were the pick of the bowlers.

While Chennai sit second in the points table with 13 points from 11 games, DC are at the bottom of the 10-team table with eight points in 10 outings.
