“Baap of all keepers” MS Dhoni’s lightning-quick stumping of Phil Salt explodes social media

At 43, MS Dhoni pulls off stumping unlike every other keeper in the IPL! Talk about heritage.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has done it again! At 43, the Chennai Super Kings‘ (CSK) legendary wicketkeeper pulled off yet another stumping masterpiece, leaving fans and commentators in absolute awe. The moment came in the fifth over of the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), when Phil Salt was looking dangerous on 32 off 16 balls. Noor Ahmad delivered a full ball outside off, turning past Salt’s bat as he attempted a big shot.

In a flash, MS Dhoni collected the ball and whipped off the bails with absolute precision. Though he wasn’t entirely sure at first, a quick review confirmed that Salt’s foot was in the air just as the bails were dislodged.

The Chepauk crowd erupted as the big screen flashed ‘OUT!’ – another reminder that when Dhoni is behind the stumps, there’s no room for error. Even in the last game, Dhoni pulled off a sensational 0.141-second stumping of Suryakumar Yadav.
