Mahendra Singh Dhoni is probably the best wicket-keeper in the cricket world right now. The Ranchi-based player, who started as a goalkeeper in football, soon embraced the cricket sport and became a World Cup-winning captain. He guided India to the 2007 T20 World Cup, and the 2011 ICC World Cup wins.
While Captain Cool was always known for his unique way of playing the game, another aspect that made him unique was his ability to stump the batsmen. He has a lightning-quick pair of hands, which makes the job easy for him behind the stumps. After working hard for many years, Dhoni has mastered this technique, and now even if the batsmen are out of the crease for a second, he has to return the pavilion stumped out by Dhoni.
In this article, we will relive the top 10 best stumpings by the Chennai Super Kings captain that left the batsmen shocked.
11.Jonathan Trott
Jonathan Trott was one of the most consistent batsmen of the English cricket team. The right-handed batsman could have won the ICC Champions Trophy for England. However, Dhoni had a brilliant plan as he asked Ashwin to bowl a delivery down the leg-side so that Dhoni can stump him out of the crease, and that trick worked.
10.Ian Bell
Another English batsman to feature on this list is the right-handed batsman Ian Bell. Many fans would remember how Bell once famously referred to him as ‘Ghanti.’ Shifting our focus to the stumping now, this incident happened during the Champions Trophy final only. Ravindra Jadeja bowled an arm ball, and Dhoni picked it correctly before dismantling the stumps.
