Dhoni's Lightning-Quick Stumping Dismisses Gill in IPL 2023 Final
MS Dhoni’s prowess in lightning-fast stumping is unmatched. With a world record of 0.082 seconds, he stands as the epitome of speed and precision. In the finals of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023, Dhoni once again left spectators in awe as he stumped Shubman Gill, the opener for Gujarat Titans, narrowly missing out on breaking his own record.
Shubman Gill had a stroke of luck as Deepak Chahar dropped his catch in the second over of the first inning. Later, the CSK pacer once again dropped the catch of Wriddhiman Saha off his own bowling. MS Dhoni, then took matters into his own hands with his lightning-fast glove work and stunned Gill with a brilliant stumping.

Dhoni looked confident with the dismissal as the stumping appeal was referred to the third umpire, who further provided the confirmation that Gill had failed to ground his bat within the crease.
Meanwhile, Jadeja delivered a flat off-stump ball. Gill leaned forward to drive it straight on the ground, but the ball sharply spun, narrowly evading the edge of his bat and his back foot unintentionally slipped out of the crease, when Dhoni finished up his glove work behind the stumps.
Gill, who scored a sensational century in the last match against Mumbai Indians was dismissed for 39 runs off 20 deliveries, comprising 7 boundaries. With this, he finished the season as the highest run-getter of IPL 2023 with 890 runs from 17 matches at a strike rate of 158.
