WATCH: MS Dhoni's lightning fast stumping jolts KKR twice at Chepauk

The CSK skipper delighted the fans not once but twice with his actions while playing against the KKR at Chennai

If anything is faster than a lightning bolt on this planet, then it has to be Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s stumping abilities. As soon as the batsman missteps or misses the ball, he finds himself dismissed the very next moment. Such scenes are thoroughly enjoyed by the viewers and they wish to witness that wizardry again and again. On Tuesday night, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper delighted the fans not once but twice with his actions while playing against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Chennai. First instance – 11th over; Imran Tahir bowled a googly and Shubman Gill went down the line, searching for a drive. He missed the ball, overbalancing himself by dragging his back leg out of his crease. Dhoni spots it within the blink of an eye and whips the bails off in a flash. Here’s the video: Second Instance – 16th over; Harbhajan bowled a slower one that tempted Piyush Chawla to hit a biggie. He flashed his bat in vain after getting beaten by the flight. Dhoni collects the ball and had all the time on earth to break the stumps. Here’s the video: Earlier in the evening, CSK skipper MS Dhoni asked KKR to bat first after winning the toss in their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash here on Tuesday. Both Chennai and KKR named unchanged teams from their last game. While KKR beat Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets in their last outing, CSK won against Kings XI Punjab by 22 runs.
