Chennai Super Kings icon MS Dhoni has etched his name in IPL history once again, achieving Dhoni’s Stumping Milestone as the first player to complete 150 stumpings in the league.
The 43-year-old legend reached this incredible landmark during Chennai Super Kings’ thrilling encounter against Rajasthan Royals at Chepauk on Sunday.
The moment arrived when Dhoni, with his trademark lightning reflexes, whipped off the bails to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had overbalanced while attempting a risky shot off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling.
It was vintage Dhoni. With this, the CSK stalwart continued to redefine excellence, solidifying his reputation as not only a clutch batter but also the most electrifying wicket-keeper the IPL has ever witnessed.
Even as Rajasthan Royals posted a competitive 200/5, driven by Sanju Samson’s aggressive 85, Dhoni’s razor-sharp glovework shone through in a match where bat dominated ball.
Having stepped away from international cricket, Dhoni’s ongoing brilliance in the IPL has become the stuff of legend.
Whether it’s his game-changing cameos, tactical nous, or those split-second stumpings, Dhoni proves that age is merely a number.This latest feat adds to an already staggering list of records, including most dismissals and stumpings by a keeper in IPL history.
At 43, Dhoni remains the pulse of CSK, his fitness and instincts showing no signs of waning.While young stars like Samson grabbed headlines with the bat, it was Dhoni who stole the show with his gloves, marking Dhoni’s Stumping Milestone in style.
In a game bursting with big hits, it was a moment of quiet genius behind the stumps that reaffirmed why Dhoni is, and always will be, a cricketing icon.
