It was not the first time that MS Dhoni affected a run out in his own unique style. He has done it in the past and the regularity of the craft shows that he does it for fun.

Dhoni was critical in providing his team with the first wicket of Sunil Narine. In the third over, Washington Sundar’s delivery deflected off Gautam Gambhir’s pad towards short fine leg. Narine called for a run but a swift effort from Shardul Thakur caught him short of the crease at the batting end.

It was not just Thakur, who was involved in the run-out. To make the exact difference, MS Dhoni diverted the ball though his gloves to the stumps in a typical Dhoni-style.
