The more he gets criticized, the harder he gives it back! That’s how Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been so far in the cricketing world. During the first ODI against Australia on Saturday, the veteran Indian wicketkeeper once again proved that his lightning fast glove work remains unmatched, no matter how older he gets.
The incident happened on the last ball of the 30th over when Kuldeep Yadav bowled a slower through the air to deceive Peter Handscomb. The right-hander moved down the line attempting to stop it there itself the ball turned through the gap between bat and pad while Dhoni made no mistake in collecting it and dislodging the wickets.
Handscomb ended up scoring 19 off 30 balls, leaving the visitors in trouble after winning the toss and opting to bat first.

Causing havoc in Hyderabad, the Indian bowlers ran through the struggling Aussie batting line-up. They underlined their collective might by restricting Australia to a modest 236/7.
Kuldeep Yadav (2/46 in 10 overs), Mohammed Shami (2/44 in 10 overs)and Kedar Jadhav (1/31) made up for a rare off-day by Jasprit Bumrah (2/60 in 10 overs) by his standards.
Jadeja (0/33 in 10 overs) remained wicketless but was hit for only two boundaries and bowled a total of 34 dot balls.
