Chennai Super Kings (CSK) keeper-batter MS Dhoni left the fans at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in awe with his lightning-fast stumping during the IPL 2025 clash against the Mumbai Indians on Sunday. Stunningly, the 43-year-old's reaction time was only 0.12 as he stumped the visiting captain Suryakumar Yadav.
The dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav occurred in the 11th over of the innings as the right-handed batter stepped out to flick the ball on the on-side. However, he completely missed it and was at least a foot out of the crease. Dhoni seized the opportunity and flicked the bails off. The square-leg umpire had sent it upstairs but the dismissal was quite clear.
