IND V ENG 2nd Test: Watch, how Saha does a Dhoni

New Delhi: He came under sharp criticism for dropping two simple catches off Ben Stokes, who went on  score 128 in the opening Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England. But trust Saha to come back with a bang. Today he pulled off a run out which has been mastered by Indian limited overs captain MS Dhoni.

In reply to India’s 455 England were 50/1 when Joe Root nudged a ball down to deep fine leg and set off for a run. The problem came when Root decided to go for the second run but stopped mid-way only to leave his partner Hameed stranded in the middle of the wicket. Jayant Yadav was quick to release the ball, but the main job was done by Wriddhiman Saha, who gathered the ball and flipped it back on to the stumps without looking at it. Hameed was short of crease.

MS Dhoni had also dismissed Ross Taylor the same way in the fourth ODI at Rajkot.
