Chennai Super Kings' pacer Khaleel Ahmed has showered praise on MS Dhoni's incredible run-out of Abdul Samad during the LSG vs CSK IPL match at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 14, 2025. Ahmed described the run-out as "crazy" and "one of the most unique" he's ever witnessed.
"All the social media will show that run out because it was like the craziest run out I've ever seen," Ahmed said. "I was looking at his gloves, he's just rolling his gloves from there and he did like an unexpected thing. And as you know, some unique thing always, he creates every year, so this was crazy and I think a lot of wicketkeepers will follow this run out now."
MS Dhoni's clever run-out of Abdul Samad in the 19th over was a masterclass in quick thinking and precision. As Matheesha Pathirana bowled a wide down the leg side, Rishabh Pant called for a quick single, but Samad hesitated. Dhoni seized the opportunity, accurately throwing the ball to the non-striker's end, catching Samad short. Dhoni's sharp instincts and direct throw resulted in a crucial dismissal.
Khaleel Ahmed's comments highlight MS Dhoni's ability to create moments that will be etched in fans' memories forever. As one of the most iconic cricketers, Dhoni continues to inspire and influence the game with his unique approach and exceptional skills.
