His fans may not believe it but Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a veteran cricketer at the age of 35, with his fittest years as a cricketer well past him. But as he has done several times in the recent past, MSD has again showed that age is just a number for him and he is still fit and agile enough to pull off great stunts on a cricket field.

Dhoni displayed his top notch wicket-keeping skills on Friday as he took a brilliant catch behind the wickets and also affected a blink and you miss stumping in his team's match against Delhi Daredevils.

His heroics weren't enough for Pune to win the match but Dhoni magic brought the Kotla on its feet.

Dhoni first took a brilliant single handed catch to dismiss the dangerous Marlon Samuels. The West Indian was striking the ball well when Dan Christian surprised him with a short delivery, Samuel looked to pull the delivery but only managed to get a top edge, which was pouched by Dhoni stretched arm behind the wicket.

He then ensured that the big-hitting Corey Anderson didn't get a chance to inflict much damage as affected a stumping in a flash, which left the Kiwi bemused. Pune spinner Washington Sundar bowled a delivery wide outside the off-stump, which Anderson failed to connect with.

The momentum ensured Anderson's foot was out of the batting crease for a fraction of a second and that was time enough for MS Dhoni to do his business.

Both these efforts played key roles in Pune restricting Delhi to a score of 168.

I have never heard these kind of comments and phrases for players who are in top form and still have years left in them. Usually these happen for players who are hanging on by a thread and show some spark here and there. Basically, these comments are the first indications of the end being near.

one special player played additional 5/6 years of international cricket  :phehe:

Dhoni's keeping skills is the best in the world no doubt , his stumpings can completely change the tide of the game and he has a knack of pulling these off.  Always keeps the batsman on the edge which again gives the spinners the freedom to toss the ball up 

He is definitely not the best against the world against pacers and other keepers are able to dive where he just lets the ball go. Overseas this causes a lot of impact to the team

Today was the proof. Luckily it didn't cost his team but he definitely costs team India and our fast bowlers overseas.
