MS Dhoni was one of the greatest wicketkeepers in cricket history. The record of the most stumping in international cricket is his name, who stumped a batsman 195 times in his career. In 2016, a stumping against Australia had increased the stature of Dhoni as a wicketkeeper. Australian player Alex Carrie, remembering that incident, described MS Dhoni as Genius.

This is on January 29, 2016, when India and Australia’s T20 match was played in Melbourne. The Australian team was chasing a target of 185 runs. James Faulkner came to batting on number-7 and scored 10 runs. In the 17th over, Ravindra Jadeja came to bowling, on the last ball of which the ball took the inner edge of Faulkner’s bat, after which the ball hit Dhoni’s pad and hit the stumps. Dhoni’s eye was so fast that he appealed for the stump to see Faulkner’s leg rising in the air and he was really dismissed.

Dhoni is genius …

The ball took the edge of James Faulkner’s bat, then went through the stumps after Dhoni hit the pad. It seems a coincidence to see all this because this whole incident happened in just a moment. Still Alex Carrie believes that Dhoni actually wanted the ball to hit the stumps.

A video clip has been shared on social media by Cricket Australia, in which Alex Carrie said, “Dhoni is a genius, he probably wanted to do the same. He did this intentionally, because he is MS Dhoni.”

On the second day, the rest of the African batsmen could not do anything amazing, as a result the entire team was reduced to the score of 138.

Australia’s second innings

When Australia came to bat in the second innings, Kagiso Rabada once again broke down on the Kangaroo batsmen. Rabada gave a double blow to Australia, jerking the wicket of Usman Khwaja and Cameron Green in a single over. Marnas Labushen scored 22 runs this time, while Steve Smith, who scored fifty in the first innings, was dismissed for 13 runs this time. Bu Webster scored 72 runs in the first innings, but this time he also flopped.

Alex carrie became bone in kebabs

South Africa took 7 wickets of Australia on a scir of just 73 in the second innings. But wicketkeeper batsman Alex Carrie’s 43 -run innings became a bone in a kebab for South Africa, due to which he added 61 runs with Mitchell Starc. Where it was also difficult to score 100 runs in the second innings of Australia, but Australia has taken its total lead of 218 runs on the basis of Alex Carrie.
