Twitter Reactions: MS Dhoni becomes the first keeper to effect 150 stumpings

Very few things in the world are faster than Dhoni’s stumpings. MSD has got lightning quick hands when it comes to dislodging the bails. He has got his own way of keeping and doesn’t stick to orthodox techniques. When MSD celebrates after a stumping, there is no need to go upstairs. If you watch the replay of his stumpings in normal time, you will get a feeling that batsman is bowled and not stumped! In the 3rd ODI against New Zealand at Mohali MSD became the first keeper to effect 150 stumpings in international cricket, second best being Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara on 139.

Twitterati exploded with some hilarious tweets after MS Dhoni reached this milestone. Some said MSD’s stumpings are faster than “Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Please read offer documents carefully before investing.” While some people compared MSD’s stumpings Reliance’s Jio 4G network. One compared Dhoni’s stumping with Virat Kohli’s cover drive and said those two are the most beautiful things in the world.

With 91 stumpings in ODI, 38 in Tests and 22 in T20Is, MS Dhoni is one of the best wicketkeepers to have played the game. He is second highest in Test cricket in stumpings after Bert Oldfield of Australia with 52. He also has the record of most stumpings in test wins as a captain with 12. In ODI cricket he is closing in on 100 stumpings with 91 so far. Being an outstanding keeper, the best captain, and the best finisher, he is the true all rounder!
