Amongst the four key roles that exist in a cricket team (Batsman, Bowler, Fielder and the wicket-keeper), only wicket-keeping is the one that portrayed by only one man for the team. Hence the wicket-keepers union is the smallest but also very tightly bound. In the Indian context, there is no one better behind the stumps than MS Dhoni.

MSD looks on – Chennai Super Kings

The former Indian Captain-keeper is known for his blinding speed in taking off the bails while batsman’s foot is in the air for a nanosecond. Dhoni is also famous for his various antics where he can crash the stumps even without looking at them. The humble giant is never shy of sharing his knowledge and tricks with youngsters.

One such moment was observed yesterday in the match played at the MCA Stadium, Pune between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. MS Dhoni had come out to bat at the number four position for Chennai and Ishan Kishan was keeping the wickets for Mumbai Indians team.

After the match was over, there was a nice moment where MS Dhoni was seen teaching a few tricks to Ishan Kishan. Incidentally, both the batsmen hail from the same region and Ishan Kishan idolizes MS Dhoni as a hero. The photo was posted by Mumbai Indians Instagram Account.

Yesterday Rohit Sharma won the toss and put the home team in to bat, Chennai Super Kings scored 169-5 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. Their innings was powered by Suresh Raina’s 33rd IPL half-century. Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni chipped in with notable contributions.

In the second innings, Mumbai Indians started on a cautious note for they had realized that 170 runs should not be a daunting target to chase provided they played to their potential. It was an archetype captain’s knock from Rohit Sharma which helped Mumbai Indians in sealing the chase.
