[Watch] Litton Does A Dhoni-Like Lightning Quick Stumping To Dismiss Saud Shakeel

After toiling hard, Bangladesh finally managed to break the mammoth stand between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan in the ongoing first Test against Pakistan at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Experienced off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz emerged as his nemesis, as he dismissed him with a sharp turner. 

The incident occurred during the 95th over of Pakistan's innings when Shakeel and Rizwan had already formed a formidable stand for the fifth wicket. 

As Bangladesh desperately needed a breakthrough, skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto brought Mehidy into the attack. 

His move paid rich dividends, as the off-spinner got rid of Shakeel on the final delivery of his over. 

From around the wicket, Mehidy bowled a tossed-up delivery that turned sharply away from Shakeel. 

As the southpaw tried to play a drive, he was comprehensively beaten by Mehidy's guile. The ball was cleanly collected by Litton Das, who dislodged the bails in a flash to send him back to the hut. 

His lightning speed behind the stumps reminded fans of legendary Indian wicket-keeper MS Dhoni, who used to execute such kind of stumpings.

Riding on valiant centuries from Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan are in a commanding position in the Rawalpindi Test. As of writing, the hosts were 367 for five in 98 overs, with Rizwan and Agha Salman unbeaten in the middle.
