MS Dhoni is known for his famous lightning speed stumping outs in Cricket matches. He has already the holder of 97 stumping outs, which is second only to K Sangakkara(99 stump outs). But what happened yesterday(3rd ODI : Windies vs India, 2017), was way cooler than what he has ever done behind the stumps times.
We know Dhoni has the coolest and fastest mind, when it comes to Cricket. Yesterday was again the day for the former Captain where he had broken few records on the verge of bringing victory to team India.
During his innings yesterday, when Dhoni came well forward from the stumps to slog a wide-ish delivery from a West indies spinner, he made a quick thinking and did something other batsmen would have never done. He knew he was not going to hit the ball and, in a fraction of second before trying to slog the ball, he came up with a decision of leaving the ball away and reached back to safety, even before the ball had reached the Keeper. And the Keeper had no timing to stump out Dhoni.
From then, Dhoni stayed till the end, made sure India reach a decent total, sufficient enough to beat West Indies. India won at the end by 93 runs, thanks to the MS Dhoni’s Man of the Match innings of 78 runs off 79 balls.
And thats the difference and the value, MSD brings into a team with his experience and the Fastest thinking mind.
