After celebrating his 37th birthday on Saturday, former India skipper walked on to the field, eyeing yet another T20I series win, possibly India’s third consecutive T20I series win on foreign soil. But things didn’t go as per plan as the bowlers conceded way too much on a wicket that just runs on offer. However, India pulled back things nicely after England got off to a berserk start, scoring 100 in less than ten overs.

A possible 200 was on the cards before MS Dhoni showed us why he is the best wicket-keeper in the world by plucking up a few low catches and even judged a high ball to perfection. In due course, he claimed five catches and became the first wicket-keeper to achieve this feat in a T20 International game. The 37-year-old even took his 50th catch as a wicketkeeper in T20I, the most for any wicketkeeper in the history of the shortest format of the game.
