India vs Windies 2018: Twitter Reacts as MS Dhoni Pulls off a Blinder

Life comes at you fast, isn’t it? After getting dropped for Windies, Australia T20Is, MS Dhoni grabbed a brilliant catch to get rid off Hemraj Chanderpaul in the Pune ODI. Meanwhile, the India wicketkeeper-batsman ran backwards and took the catch of the series in the sixth over. Jasprit Bumrah, who returned to the playing XI bowled a quick bouncer, which Hemraj couldn’t pull off well and eventually got caught.

There’s no stopping MS Dhoni

However,  it was not long back when MS Dhoni’s exclusion caught everyone’s eye. Nearly 14 hours later in Pune, his efforts on the field again dragged him in the limelight. The way ex-India captain ran back and pulled off a stunner, it showed his agility event at 37.

However, India had won the toss and elected to bowl first in the third game. Making three changes to India’s lineup, Virat had asked the returning Bhuvneshwar, Bumrah to begin with. The pair kept it tight and didn’t give much room for the batsmen to find gaps. Eventually, the pressure got built and a brilliant bouncer from Bumrah had Hemarj walking back.

That catch shows that MS Dhoni is still fit and reflexes haven't dimmed yet. If he can just change his approach with the bat and play like he used to between 2005-07, he can be valuable. Needs to rely on his power game which certainly hasn't dimmed #INDvWI
