MS Dhoni, known for his destructive batting and lightning-fast stumpings, showcased his speed once again in the 8th match of IPL 2025 against RCB at Chepauk. In the 5th over of the CSK vs RCB match, Phil Salt tried to hit Noor Ahmad over but missed the ball and lifted his toe for just a moment. That was enough for MS Dhoni to do his work behind the stumps. Thanks to his lightning-fast stumping and Noor’s great delivery, the dangerous Phil Salt was sent back to the pavilion after scoring 32 runs off 16 balls, including 5 fours and 1 six.

In the last bowl of the 5th over, Noor Ahmed pitches the ball outside off, and Phil Salt misses the cover drive. As he played the shot, his toe lifted from the ground for a bit of second, but that time was enough for MS Dhoni to send him back to the pavilion with his lightning-fast hands.
