MS Dhoni, the former Indian wicket-keeper batter, recently recounted a funny incident involving his wife Sakshi Dhoni, where the 2011 ODI World Cup-winning captain of India got schooled about a stumping rule in cricket and was told that ‘he knows nothing’ about the sport. Notably, Dhoni holds the record for most stumpings in international cricket with 195 stumpings in 538 matches.

In a viral video from a recent event, Dhoni shares an interesting conversation he had with his wife, Sakshi, while they were watching a cricket match. During the game, a batter was stumped off a wide ball. Sakshi insisted he was not out, claiming the umpires would call him back, as stumping is not possible on a wide delivery, to which the former India captain objected and tried to correct her by explaining the actual rule.

"Humlog ghar mein baithke na we were watching a game. Toh ek match chal raha tha, I think one-day international tha, Sakshi bhi thi saath mein. Usually main aur sakshi cricket ke baare mein baat nahin karte. Bowler ne ball daala. It was a wide, batsman ne step out kiya, toh woh stump ho gaya. Umpires generally aaj-kal review le lete hain ki third umpire decide karega. My wife started, 'Out nahi hai.' Jab tak usne bola out nahi hai, batsman ne chalna start kar diya tha. 'You just see they will call him back. Wide ball mein stump ho hi nahin sakta hai' (We were at home watching a game and there was an ODI going on. Sakshi was there with me. We don't talk about cricket at all when we are together. The bowler bowled a wide and the batsman stepped out and was stumped. But my wife said it's not out. By that time, the batsman had started walking back. But she kept saying the umpires will call him back as there can be no stumping in wide)," says Dhoni in the viral video.

'Tumko Kuch Nahi Pata Hai': Sakshi Says To Dhoni

Dhoni continued explaining to his wife that stumping is allowed off a wide ball but not off a no-ball, to which Sakshi replied “Tumko kuch nahi pata hai (You don’t know anything).”
 
"Toh, maine bola nahi-nahi, wide mein stumping hota hai, no ball mein nahi hota. She was like 'Tumko kuch nahi pata hai'. You just wait third umpire will call him back. Jab tak yeh baat ho rahi hai woh bechara batsman already boundary line tak pahunch gaya. She is like 'No no, they have to call him back. Finally jab out hua aur next batsman aa gaya, 'There's something wrong' (I told her in case of a wide there is stumping but not when there is a no-ball. But she said you just wait until the third umpire will call him back. By this time, the batsman had already reached the boundary line. Finally, when the new batsman arrived she said, "There's something wrong)," Dhoni further said.
