Chawla Believes Dhoni Practiced Keeping for Noor Ahmad
At 43, MS Dhoni continues to showcase exceptional wicketkeeping skills. His quick stumping of Suryakumar Yadav off Noor Ahmad’s bowling during the IPL 2025 clash between CSK and MI drew admiration from experts.
Dhoni’s ability to anticipate the ball’s trajectory and react instantly played a crucial role in dismissing Suryakumar for 29, breaking a 51-run stand and restricting MI to 155/9.
Chawla on Dhoni’s Preparation
While Ruturaj Gaikwad mentioned that Dhoni rarely undergoes wicketkeeping drills, Piyush Chawla believes he prepares strategically, especially for new bowlers like Noor Ahmad.

Dhoni’s Stumping Technique Sets a Benchmark
Former Indian pacer Varun Aaron noted how Dhoni’s technique has redefined modern wicketkeeping.
This efficiency was highlighted further by a missed stumping from Heinrich Klaasen in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s match against Rajasthan Royals, where experts remarked that Dhoni wouldn’t have missed that chance.
