The Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 witnessed an intriguing moment for IPL fans as Nathan Ellis, Chennai Super Kings’ newest recruit, got the better of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s big buy Jacob Bethell in a low-scoring thriller between the Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades.
While the Renegades cruised to a six-wicket victory, Ellis stole the spotlight with his brilliant dismissal of the highly-rated Bethell.

Defending a modest total of 74, the Hurricanes relied heavily on Nathan Ellis to make early inroads, and the CSK pacer didn’t disappoint. He delivered a sharp, slower ball to Jacob Bethell, who was looking to anchor the chase after the early loss of openers. Bethell misjudged the delivery and was caught off the back of the bat for just three runs off six balls.

Jacob Bethell, who was hyped as one of the most promising young talents, failed to make an impact in this match. Purchased for INR 2.60 crore by RCB in the IPL 2025 mega auction, Bethell’s performance left fans underwhelmed.
Despite Ellis’ brilliance, the Renegades chased down the target comfortably in just nine overs. Tim Seifert led the charge with an unbeaten 37 off 19 balls, smashing four boundaries and two sixes.
