'Quicker, Quickest, MS Dhoni': MSD's lighting quick stumping sets internet ablaze

Gujarat Titans take on Chennai Super Kings in the final of IPL 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium. Speculations are rife that this could be Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s last stint in the Indian Premier League, and he would seek to finish his decorated career on a winning note. The 41-year-old continues to haunt his opponents as he provided another moment of exemplary wicket-keeping.

MS Dhoni's stumping in the IPL final erupted on social media 

Ravindra Jadeja draws the first blood as dismisses the dangerous Shubman Gill. But it was Mahendra Singh Dhoni who performed all the magic behind the stumps. The former Indian skipper took advantage of Gill’s lapse of concentration and dislodged the stumps with his lightning fast speed.

Netizens cannot get enough of their beloved “Thala” as social media erupted with all kinds of reactions.
