Cricket fans lose it over ridiculous MS Dhoni moment

MS Dhoni is 37 years old.

Keep that in mind when you see how he narrowly avoided being stumped in the second T20 between India and Australia.

‘CLEARLY BOUNCED’: Indian fans fume over controversial Stoinis catch

Dhoni was in fine form on Thursday, blasting 40 off just 23 balls after copping criticism from his own fans for batting ‘selfishly’ in the first fixture.

But his innings was very nearly ended early when he danced down the pitch and missed an Adam Zampa delivery.

Peter Handscomb whipped off the bails in a flash, but Dhoni showed some incredible agility and flexibility to get his foot back in his crease while almost doing a complete split.

TV broadcasters actually measured the distance between Dhoni’s legs, revealing the stretch to be 2.14 metres.

Fans were left very impressed by the veteran’s moves.

Maxwell makes history

Glenn Maxwell has played countless Twenty20 innings in India but few have been as momentous and marvellous as the unbeaten century in Bangalore that delivered Australia their first limited-overs series win in over a year.

Maxwell, having also top-scored in the tour opener at Vizag, continued his hot form with an astonishing array of sweetly-timed sixes, funky footwork, classical boundaries and audacious strokes to finish 113 not out from 55 deliveries.

The innovative batsman entered the fray at 2-22 then smacked nine sixes and seven fours as his team wrapped up a seven-wicket win in 19.4 overs.

The right-hander put on a 73-run stand with D’Arcy Short, who also backed up his promising performance in the first T20 with a polished 40, then sealed the deal alongside Peter Handscomb to make all sorts of history.

Maxwell became the first Australian to register three international T20 centuries, reaching three figures in the penultimate over but holding off on celebrations until victory was assured.

The result, coming after Pat Cummins’ last-ball heroics in Vizag, meant Australia won their first T20 series over India.
