Monday, February 4, 2019 IST
MS Dhoni ran James Neesham out in the 5th ODI match of the series which won the hearts of people all over the globe and the people took to Twitter to applaud the wicketkeeper-batsman.
Mahendra Sigh Dhoni can be termed as the quickest wicketkeeper playing in the cricketing world. His behind the stumps antics have often won him accolades and appreciation. He has gained the reputation of being able to do stumpings out of nowhere and the batsmen know this fact very well. If one has a look at all the greatest wicketkeepers before Dhoni, one can notice that they used to gather the ball first then affect the stumping, But Dhoni with his unconventional methods has an ability to do stumpings without even gathering the ball completely, which makes his abilities all the more special.
Dhoni has the most number of stumpings in international cricket (190) and no one else is even close to him in this feat. The next best is Kumar Sangakkara, who has a total of 139 stumpings.
In the 5th ODI against New Zealand, Dhoni was once again pulled off a surprise out of nowhere, that left Kiwi batsmen James Neesham stunned. He was playing beautifully and was batting on 44, looking to increase the headache in the Indian Camp.
He missed one of the deliveries bowled by Kedhar Jadhav, there forced the Indian players to appeal for an LBW. Neesham just took few steps down the wicket during the appeal and was left surprised as Dhoni collected the ball and effected a run-out. This left everyone stunned and also changed the course of the game. The effort of Dhoni left the Twitterati in all awe.
ICC also applauded the former Indian Captain on Twitter by replying to a Japanese multimedia artist. The artist had asked for an advice on Twitter which will help him shine, “Give us some advice that will make our lives heal and shine,” wrote Yoko in her tweet.
To this the ICC replied, never leave your crease with MS Dhoni behind the stumps. The fans were seen rejoicing this tweet by the apex cricket body.
India won the fifth ODI by 35 runs as they dismissed New Zealand on 217 , defended a target of 253.
