Dhoni delivered a remarkable act of redemption during the match. With his signature quick reflexes, he gathered the ball and removed the bails in a flash.

While facing Ahmad, RCB opener Salt’s foot was again airborne, prompting the on-field umpires to consult the third umpire. After reviewing the footage, the third umpire confirmed that Salt’s foot was indeed off the ground when the stumps were broken.

Dhoni’s stunning stumping of Phil Salt was just one of many exceptional wicketkeeping moments from ‘Captain Cool’ this season. Earlier, in the previous match, he had executed a swift stumping to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav, Mumbai Indians’ captain, in the 11th over, delivering a massive blow to the opposition in their IPL opener.
