The former Chennai Super Kings captain (CSK), MS Dhoni, could be in the twilight of his career, but his magical glove behind the stumps remains the same. The 43 -year -old gave a testimony once again in the continuous season of the Premier League (IPL 2025).

In the first match against the Indians of Mumbai (MI), Dhoni affected a ray of bump in Suryakumar Yadav while discarding explosives to the explosives Busy -Reliers (RCB) Phil Salt today with another fast bump.

In both cases, Dhoni’s reaction time was remarkably less than half a second, marking 0.12 seconds and 0.17 seconds for heaven and salt, respectively.

With cognition playing an important role in the Cricket and that a blow is needed with age, it is extremely surprising how Dhoni can be so precise even at his age.

In particular, Dhoni had previously revealed that he believes in ‘snatching’ a ball instead of simply receiving it behind the stumps.

While this simple adjustment had worked wonders for Mrs. Dhoni, former Indian field coach R Sridhar had previously explained in detail what distinguishes the former captain of India and CSK.

Sridhar had said as cited by Indian Express: “While others use their hands to produce that they give, use their dolls. While their hands go to the stumps, there is a slight film of the wrists in the direction back. In my opinion, they are not safe hands, but the strong hands that allow him to do that. That is the reason why he will not see it.” He uses his peripheral vision more than anyone else. While looking at the ball, his corner of the eye has already measured where the stumps are and where is the foot of the batter. “
