India and Rajasthan Royals spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on Wednesday made a hilarious request to Elon Musk – a billionaire and owner of X, formerly Twitter. Chahal asked Musk to issue a copyright infringement notice against Punjab Kings pacer Harshal Patel after the latter's viral celebration of a catch during the Chennai Super Kings game. After completing the catch, Harshal celebrated in a manner related to Chahal's viral meme. Chahal shared the photo from Harshal's celebration and wrote on X, “Dear @elonmusk paaji, Harshal bhai pe copyright lagana hai.”

The post of Chahal, who has been included in the Indian T20 World Cup squad announced on April 30, went viral on social media.
Talking about the celebration, Kagiso Rabada bowled a short ball outside off stump to Sameer Rizvi, who tried to play an uppercut on it. The ball couldn't get past the third man where Harshal made a well-timed slide to take the catch.
Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings by 7 wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday to keep their play-off hopes alive. Chasing a target of 163, PBKS reached home in 17.5 overs, thanks to Jonny Bairstow's 46 off 30 and Rilee Rossouw's 43 off 23.
Earlier, Ruturaj Gaikwad (62 in 48) scored a fighting fifty to help CSK post 162 for 7 in 20 overs after receiving an invitation to bat first. Rahul Chahar (2 for 16 in four overs) and Harpreet Brar (2 for 17 in four overs) were the best bowlers for PBKS. Brar was later named Player of the Match.
“It was a good wicket to bowl on, and even Rahul (Chahar) bowled very well. I have been playing for six years, so my confidence is quite high. Now bowling for these legends of the game feels normal, I just bowl To be honest I don't think wickets are, my aim is just to bowl a lot of dot balls and dot balls create the wickets helpfully,” Brar said after the match.
