5 instances when MS Dhoni got stumped in international cricket

#1 Test vs Pakistan (2006, Faisalabad)

In sharp contrast to the present times, India and Pakistan regularly played against each other in home and away bilateral Test series during the early to mid 2000s. One such series came in 2006 when Rahul Dravid's troops took a trip across the border. Before the tour began, there was plenty of hype from the Pakistanis about preparing seam-friendly pitches to aid the likes of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif.

However, the home team's caution did not come to fruition as the ground staff at the Gaddafi Stadium rolled out an extremely flat surface.

With the opening Test drawn, the focus shifted to Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad for the penultimate match. After winning the toss, Pakistan amassed a massive total in the first-innings. Despite a delectable partnership between skipper Dravid and VVS Laxman, India ran into a bit of strife as a slew of wickets left them at a precarious position.

In tandem with Irfan Pathan, Dhoni breathed new life into the innings by launching a blistering counter-attack. Having brought up his maiden Test century, the flamboyant wicket-keeper batsman did not show any signs of stopping.

When he was two runs short of the 150-mark, the then 24-year old charged down the track in order to deposit Danish Kaneria into the stands. But the leg-spinner got one to turn prodigiously and outwitted the dangerous right-hander. Kamran Akmal did not make any mistake behind the stumps. In spite of his dismissal, Dhoni had done enough to ensure that the match petered out to a draw.
