MS Dhoni turned back the clock to take a brilliant catch behind the stumps to leave both fans and experts stunned during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans on Tuesday. The fans have not seen Dhoni bat in this year’s IPL till now but the fielding effort was enough to send the social media into a frenzy. Vijay Shankar edged a delivery from Daryl Mitchell and Dhoni did not hesitate one bit before pulling off a full-stretch dive to complete the catch. Replays showed that the ball travelled at quite a rapid pace after connecting with the bat and Dhoni had just 0.6 seconds to complete the effort.
