IPL 2024: It Looked Like We Were Watching A 22-year-old Dhoni Again, Says Parthiv Patel On The Sensational Catch
In Chennai Super Kings: In Chennai Super Kings’ 63-run win over Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, Mahendra Singh Dhoni left everyone stunned while taking an incredible quick diving catch of Vijay Shankar, which led to former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel saying that it looked like the 22-year-old version of Dhoni was on the field.
At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the home crowd erupted in joy as Dhoni showcased his quick reflexes with an excellent diving catch of Shankar off all-rounder Daryl Mitchell’s delivery. The host broadcasters later revealed Dhoni stretched a remarkable distance of 2.27 meters to take the sensational catch.
“I have never seen him practice wicketkeeping. The one important thing we can see here is the distance that he covered. A lot of wicketkeepers have an initial movement where they usually go towards the leg side, but MS Dhoni consistently dives in the same direction and can cover two meters of distance. It looked like we were watching a 22-year-old Dhoni again.”
