Twitter reacts to 39-year-old MS Dhoni pulling off outrageous full-stretch dive to escape inevitable run-out

We’ve heard of people escaping death, but today at the Wankhede, a 39-year-old MS Dhoni, somehow, escaped an obvious run out. Eager to get off the mark, Dhoni took off, but after being sent back by Ravindra Jadeja, the CSK skipper threw himself to the ground, full stretch, to preserve his wicket.

Next level dive from Thal Dhoni.

:| No words on this!

Look at the priority of MS Dhoni

2019 wc : Didn't dive to save his wicket and India lost the match.

Ipl 2021 (Tonight's match ) : Dive to save his wicket for CSK#CSKvsRR #IPL2021 #CSKvsRR #rrvscsk

Told it earlier & did it today!

"I keep telling myself why didn't i dive" - Dhoni

And today he dived for his team. This is what you say learning from mistakes.

I wish this dive had come that day.#CSKvRR pic.twitter.com/0yFuKR0RUa
