Former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni has always been known for pulling out things which no one can even expect on the cricket field. He has often been seen doing unusual things as a wicket-keeper to produce a wicket out of nowhere for Team India. On Tuesday, during the second ODI of the five-match series against Australia at the VCA stadium in Nagpur, he stopped the sweep shot pf Peter Handscomb in the most bizarre way possible.

MS Dhoni can do anything

Earlier on the game, the Australian skipper, Aaron Finch decided to bowl first after winning the toss. While, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli decided not to make any changes in the squad, the visitors have made a couple of changes to their playing XI as Nathan Lyon and Shaun Marsh have come in place of Jason Behrendorff and Ashton Turner.

On the other hand, the Nagpur pitch is looking good for the spinners. In fact, Indian skipper Virat Kohli was looking to bat first only and had no regrets of losing the toss. India currently leads the ongoing five-match series as they had won the first match by six wickets.

In the first innings, India got bundled out for 250 with the help of a fine century from Kohli. Chasing the target of 251, the Aussies were reeling at a score of 145/4 in the 33rd over and Dhoni pulled off a magic moment.

On the penultimate ball of the 33rd over bowled by Kedar Jadhav, the bowler delivered a slow delivery on the leg stump and Handscomb pulled out sweep shot which came off the glove, and Dhoni started moving to the leg side as soon as he began shaping for that shot. He was in position, but he has to react with pure instinct, and the ball popped out of his gloves. One has to say that it was excellent anticipation from MS as he almost pulled out a wicket out of nowhere if he had taken the catch.
