The legendary Chennai Super Kings wicketkeeper pulled off a stunning stumping to dismiss Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s in-form opener, Phil Salt, off the bowling of Noor Ahmad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Salt, who was looking dangerous after scoring a quickfire 32 off 16 balls, was completely bamboozled by the delivery. As he attempted to advance down the track, Noor Ahmad\u2019s sharp turn left him stranded, and Dhoni wasted no time in whipping off the bails. The dismissal was a testament to Dhoni\u2019s unmatched reflexes, further solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest wicketkeepers of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Salt\u2019s aggressive start cut short<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before his dismissal, Salt had given RCB a flying start, smashing five boundaries and one six. He looked in sublime touch, but the brilliance of Dhoni and Noor Ahmad brought his innings to an abrupt end. The wicket provided CSK with a crucial breakthrough, slowing down RCB\u2019s momentum in the powerplay.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Match situation after 5 overs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite losing Salt, RCB maintained a strong start, reaching <\/span><b>45\/1 after 5 overs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
