On July 7, it was the birthday of the greatest captain to have graced the pitch of cricket- MS Dhoni. Having won it all in his career as a captain, one thing that remained a bit underrated in his career was his super-fast bails flicking skills behind the wicket. The International Cricket Council decided to catch on as it prepared a short video in the format of a montage where the stampings by the legend were compiled at one place.
As the video plays, one can clearly see MS click the bails with his lightning-fast hands behind the stumps with the Indian players celebrating it. There was not even a second where any fan of cricket could have switched or swayed his head from the video as along with those brilliant stumpings, the amazing background from the Quinton Tarantino movie starring Jamie Fox- Django Unchained.
The video sets the mood for the wish as MS Dhoni has indeed been the best man with the gloves behind the stumps. The Jharkhand born is the first captain to have played 200 ODIs and 60 Tests as a wicketkeeper.
To his credit, the now 40-year-old has the most stumpings for a wicketkeeper in international cricket. Along with being a wicketkeeper. Dhoni, who ended his career with 634 catches and 195 stumpings across formats, was also the go-to man in terms of DRS calls from behind the wicket.
