The bowler's throw was well off target and Parthiv Patel collected the ball a few yards away from the stumps. With his back toward the wicket, the keeper decided to have a shy at the stumps - Dhoni style. In a match against New Zealand, Dhoni had been in a similar situation and had managed to pull off a brilliant run out by throwing the ball directly at the wickets. In Patel's case, however, he missed the wicket by a "country mile" and ended up conceding another run.
