Video: Dhoni's first international wicket

Here is a video of Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni picking up his first international wicket. In the 2009 Champions Trophy group A match against West Indies at Johannesburg on September 30, 2009, the Indian captain, sensing that the wicket assisted pace bowlers, opted to try his hand at bowling with Dinesh Karthik donning the wicketkeeping gloves.

The move reaped great benefits as he dismissed Travis Dowlin with an inswinging delivery that left the batsmen startled. As they say, he is indeed the man with the Midas touch.
