MS Dhoni has been admired for his crazy stumping skills behind the stumps. The World Cup winning skipper is ageing like fine win as it seems from the ongoing game between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Chennai Super Kings.

Notably, Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss for the game and invited Bengaluru to bat first. While Kohli was struggling to get going from one end, Phil Salt gave the team a fluent start. The English opening batter was looking increasingly dangerous at the crease, when an insanely fast glove work by the master himself brought about his doom.

On the fifth delivery of the over, Noor Ahmad bowled a full delivery at the off stump line that turned away from the batter. Phil Salt swung across the line but got beaten by  the spin. Even before the batter could react, the bails were off and the replays showed that Salt was just short of the crease. 

Immediately after the dismissal the fans started praising the reflexes of MS Dhoni even at the age of 43. 

Here is how the fans reacted

'GOAT OF STUMPING - MS DHONI 🐐': @ManendraKu58454

'Don't even think of getting your foot out of crease, while Ms Dhoni is behind the stumps, He's lightening fast behind the stumps...': @afzal_zara26257

'Fast , Faster, MS Dhoni ⚡️': @nittu_poonia

'Less Than 1 Seconds And Dhoni Stumped Philip Salt 🥶⚡': @SachinN18342436

'Kya Stumping Hain Teri... Mahendra Bahubali MS Dhoni⚡': @SunilRajasthan6


The wicket of Phil Salt was a crucial one for CSK as after that their scoring rate dropped considerably. The fact MS Dhoni can still impact games like this from behind the stumps, speaks volumes about the love he gets from his fans.
