Former Indian skipper and wicket keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has earned a name for his unorthodox skills in his keeping style. He has never been a traditional keeper like Adam Gilchrist or Mark Boucher but was quite successful in effecting incredible runouts and lightning stumpings.

The 36-year old has once again weaved his magic during the third and final T20 match against South Africa. India have registered a decent 172 runs when asked to bat first by the hosts at Cape Town.

However, the total seemed to be par until Indian pacers made the most out of the sluggish pitch. The run rate was well below 6 in the initial 10 overs as India held screws tight at all ends.

South Africa skipper JP Duminy was playing a wonderful anchor role for the hosts and had expertly placed the ball to the left of deep square leg fielder. Dinesh Karthik, who was fielding in the deep was quick to get around and fire in a decent throw.

Duminy had made it to the crease just in time but the skills of MS Dhoni that has caught the eyes of everyone who were glued to the television sets. The magician have managed to hit the stumps without even facing the stumps which awed the commentators who were even on air.
