Este abdinaje: MS Dhoni IPL 2025 en MS VSKI

MS Dhoni has humbly downplayed his remarkable wicketkeeping performances in the IPL and emphasized the importance of his presence behind the stumps during matches. Despite retiring from international cricket, Dhoni continues to deliver astonishing feats for the Chennai Super Kings, defying his age and maintaining his reputation as one of the best wicketkeepers.

During the CSK vs MI game on Sunday, March 23, Dhoni showcased his brilliance with a stunning stumping, proving that at 43, he still has what it takes to excel in the sport. While speaking on “The MS Dhoni Experience” on JioHotstar, Dhoni watched a clip from last season featuring his extraordinary diving catch to the right against GT. Although the catch received significant praise from fans and experts, Dhoni humorously described it as a lucky moment.

I am useless on field: MS Dhoni

The former Indian captain joked that his dive resembled a sack falling off a truck, adding a touch of self-deprecating humor. Dhoni explained that he prefers to focus on being a dependable wicketkeeper, avoiding risky attempts at flashy one-handed catches. His humility and approach highlight the professionalism that has defined his legendary career.

“It’s a fluke. If you closely monitor it, it feels like a sack of rice falling from the back of a truck. The whole thing is if we can reach with two hands, I’ve always been a fan of trying to take catches with two hands, and it helps. So it always feels good if you can contribute like this. But I’m not somebody who you would see dive around a lot or to take those, you know, great catches, one-handed great catches. I’m quite a safekeeper. I like to keep it that,” said Dhoni.

“It’s a challenge, you know, and that’s what makes it interesting, as is also the fact that if I’m not wicketkeeping, I think I’m useless on the field. Because that’s where I read the game in the best possible manner. I have to be really close to the game, for the angles, to see how the bowler is bowling, how the wicket is behaving. What is the change,” he added.
