The third match of IPL 2025 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians witnessed a remarkable moment when MS Dhoni displayed his exceptional wicketkeeping skills. His lightning-fast stumping sent Suryakumar Yadav back to the pavilion, a moment that has since gone viral.
Dhoni’s Stumping in Just 0.12 Seconds
During the 10.3rd over, Mumbai’s Suryakumar Yadav misjudged a delivery from CSK spinner Noor Ahmed. Stepping out of the crease to play a shot, he failed to connect properly. In an instant, MS Dhoni dislodged the bails in just 0.12 seconds, leaving everyone, including Suryakumar, stunned. The precision and speed of the 43-year-old wicketkeeper have drawn widespread praise, with fans and experts lauding his remarkable reflexes.
Mumbai Indians Struggle to Post a Big Total
Batting first, Mumbai Indians could not build a substantial total, managing only 155 runs. Captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck, while Suryakumar Yadav contributed 29 runs off 26 balls. Tilak Varma was the top scorer with 31 runs. The inability of Mumbai's batsmen to convert their starts into big scores resulted in a below-par total.
