Dhoni stumped Jason Holder

And once again the spectators got lucky to see a lightning fast from Mahendra Singh Dhoni. No doubt that he has been excellent with gloves behind the stumps over the years but his stumpings are so fast that for once they leave everyone on the field shocked. In the third ODI against West Indies, he again proved that why any batsman should not go out of the crease when he is behind the stumps when he stumped Jason Holder of the bowling off Ravichandran Ashwin.

In the 20th over, Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a ball down the leg side and Holder tried to flick the delivery. However, Holder missed his shot and Dhoni collected it and whipped off the bails in a flash to send the West Indian captain back to the pavilion. The same incident happened in the previous match when Kuldeep Yadav bowled Jason Holder and Dhoni stumped him.

Dhoni has now 371 dismissals in his account from 294 matches, with 274 catches and 97 stumpings.

In the previous match, he also scored 78 runs at a crucial time when whole batting order seemed to be collapsed and once again proved that the team can rely on him.
