MS Dhoni once again proved why he is considered one of the finest wicketkeepers in cricket history, pulling off a stunning lightning-fast stumping to dismiss Mumbai Indians captain Suryakumar Yadav in IPL 2025. The moment came during the high-voltage clash between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
It was the third over from spinner Noor Ahmad when SKY stepped out of his crease, looking to take charge. But in a blink, Dhoni dislodged the bails before the batter could complete his stroke. The moment left fans and commentators speechless. Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed for 29 off 26 balls with 2 fours and a six.
With this dismissal, MS Dhoni registered his 44th stumping in IPL history, extending his record for the most stumpings by any wicketkeeper in the league. Known for his razor-sharp reflexes and unmatched anticipation, Dhoni’s iconic forward lunge behind the stumps once again delivered magic for CSK.
Most stumpings in IPL history:
- MS Dhoni – 44 stumpings
- Dinesh Karthik – 37 stumpings
- Robin Uthappa – 32 stumpings
- Wriddhiman Saha – 26 stumpings
- Rishabh Pant – 23 stumpings
Even at the age of 43, Dhoni continues to mesmerize with his glove work. His stumping of Suryakumar not only turned the momentum in CSK’s favour early in the innings but also reinforced his legacy as one of the greatest wicketkeepers the game has seen.
As IPL 2025 unfolds, moments like these are a reminder that MS Dhoni’s brilliance behind the stumps remains untouched, continuing to shape games in a flash.
