WATCH | Dhoni's displays lightning quick glove work to dismiss Corey Anderson
After taking a stunner to dismiss Marlon Samuels earlier in the innings, MS Dhoni wasn't done yet as Corey Anderson was the next one to fall as a result of the wicket-keeper’s brilliance. Dhoni showed some excellent glove work, from years gone by, to sent the Kiwi back to the pavilion.
It seems as if MS Dhoni has decided to leave his mark on the ongoing match against the Delhi Daredevils. Not only did Dhoni take a stunning catch to dismiss Samuels, he also managed to match that effort with another scintillating stumping to dismiss Corey Anderson.
The incident occurred in the 16th over of the Delhi innings, when Washington Sundar deceived Anderson with a flighted delivery that drew the batsman, marginally, out of his crease. The Kiwi realized pretty quickly that he was out of his crease and before the ball could reach Dhoni, he tried to get his back foot into the crease. However, Dhoni was not willing to let the opportunity slip as he collected the ball and dislodged the bails in one quick motion.
Replays showed that Anderson had his foot in the air, at the decisive moment and the Kiwi was rightly given out by the third umpire. The dismissal left Delhi in trouble at 129 for 5 after 16 overs, but the home side recovered to score 168/8 in their 20 overs.
