When it comes to having a cool and composed demeanor in cricket, there is one name that holds a huge stature none other than MS Dhoni. The two-time World Cup-winning skipper made headlines yet again on Friday when he went to rearrange the stumps at the end of SRH’s innings after running Sundar out.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) only managed to reach a score of 134/7 on Friday evening after being asked to bat first against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chepauk. Under the captaincy of Aiden Markram, SRH never looked comfortable in their innings, and thus were restricted to a sub-par total.

To make matters worse, MS Dhoni nailed a bullseye throw on the last ball of the innings took away another potential run from their total. It was a slower-length ball by ‘baby Malinga’ Matheesha Pathirana down the leg side.
Marco Jansen, batting on 17 off 21 balls, swung his bat hard at it but failed to make any connection with the ball. MS Dhoni, stood behind the stumps, knew Washington Sundar might attempt to go for a quick run, and thus he took his right glove off. Immediately after the ball went to him, he aimed at the three stumps and broke them with a razor-sharp throw.

Although the on-field umpire sent the decision upstairs, Sundar knew he was gone and ran straight to the pavilion. The replay unsurprisingly confirmed Washington’s suspicion, but Dhoni remained unaffected by the hubbub around him as he was busy quietly rearranging the stumps.
Here is the video of the dismissal:
