Chennai Super Kings’ iconic wicketkeeper MS Dhoni once again proved why he’s hailed as the greatest behind the stumps. In the 8th match of IPL 2025 between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk, Dhoni displayed incredible reflexes to stump Philip Salt off Noor Ahmad’s bowling. Salt, who had been batting aggressively with a 16-ball 32, was left stunned by Dhoni’s precision.
The incident occurred in the 5th over when Noor Ahmad sent in a delivery that beat Salt’s bat. Dhoni, unfazed, swiftly collected the ball and removed the bails in a flash. Though the appeal was sent upstairs for confirmation, replays clearly showed Salt’s back leg in the air—OUT.
As expected, social media lit up with admiration. One user wrote, “GOAT OF STUMPING – MS DHONI 🐐”, while another said, “Age is just a number, but Dhoni’s reflexes are still in their Prime.” The stumping has reignited fan chatter around Dhoni’s ageless brilliance, with posts like “Dhoni ke stumping se koi bach sakta hai kya??????” and “Dhoni stumping at 43 >>>> any other present keeper” going viral.
