MS Dhoni stumps a sloppy-looking Sunil Narine for 26 with his brilliant presence of mind in KKR vs CSK IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni continued his exploits behind the wicket by stumping Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener Sunil Narine in the IPL 2025 match at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday, May 7. The wicketkeeper showed brilliant presence of mind with his lightning-fast reflexes behind the stumps, catching a sloppy-looking Sunil Narine short of his crease.

As a result, Narine perished for 26 runs off 17 balls, ending the fifty-plus partnership with skipper Ajinkya Rahane for the second wicket. The southpaw's innings comprised one six and four boundaries.

The dismissal came in the eighth over of KKR’s innings. Noor Ahmad bowled a tossed-up delivery around the middle and leg stumps. Narine shimmied down the pitch to whip it away but was beaten as the ball hit the pads before rolling towards Dhoni. Narine failed to make his ground in time.
