New Delhi: In the 8th match of IPL 2025, MS Dhoni once again proved why he is the greatest wicketkeeper of all time by executing an ultra-fast stumping in just 0.10 seconds to dismiss Phil Salt. This jaw-dropping moment left even Virat Kohli stunned, as he watched Dhoni’s lightning reflexes from the non-striker’s end.
Dhoni’s Blazing Stumping Sends Salt Packing!
Phil Salt and Virat Kohli opened the innings for RCB, with Salt going after the bowlers aggressively. However, in the final delivery of the 5th over, Dhoni’s wicketkeeping brilliance cut short Salt’s innings. Noor Ahmad bowled a deceptive delivery outside the off-stump, and Salt attempted a big shot on the off-side but misjudged the length.
Dhoni, standing sharp behind the stumps, made no mistake. In just 0.10 seconds, he whipped off the bails before Salt could even bring his foot back inside the crease. The third umpire’s replays confirmed that Salt was clearly out. Salt scored 32 runs off 16 balls, smashing 1 six and 5 fours before Dhoni’s brilliance ended his stay at the crease.

MS Dhoni’s Bullet-Speed Stumping Goes Viral!
This stunning stumping reminded fans of Dhoni’s past heroics, as he had pulled off a similar dismissal against Suryakumar Yadav in the previous match, where Noor Ahmad was also the bowler.
Salt’s dismissal was not the only highlight—Virat Kohli’s reaction after witnessing the stumping has taken social media by storm. Kohli, visibly shocked, had a priceless expression that is now going viral.

Virat Kohli’s Performance in the Match
Despite witnessing Dhoni’s brilliance firsthand, Virat Kohli managed to score 31 runs off 30 balls, hitting 1 six and 2 fours. However, he too fell victim to Noor Ahmad’s bowling, as RCB struggled against CSK’s spinners.
