'Tiger Abhi Zinda Hai'- Suresh Raina On MS Dhoni's Acrobatic Diving Catch In CSK vs GT
Suresh Raina was all praise for CSK wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni who pulled off a sensational catch behind the stumps to get rid of GT's Vijay Shankar.
MS Dhoni might not have had the opportunity to bat so far in the seventeenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) but his performance behind the stumps with gloves has been nothing short of exemplary. During the Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) home match against Gujarat Titans (GT), Dhoni grabbed a sensational acrobatic age-defying diving catch off the ball of Daryl Mitchell to get rid of Vijay Shankar.

Soon after the catch from the five-time tournament winning captain, Dhoni's former India and CSK teammate Suresh Raina heaped praises on the stumper saying: 'Tiger Abhi Zinda Hai' (The Tiger is still alive).
