‘I am not Dhoni’, Australia captain Matthew Wade on stump mic | Matthew Wade jokes about not being as quick as MS Dhoni behind the stumps

MS Dhoni might have left international cricket, but his absence still impacts the cricketing world. When India was playing against Australia in the second T20I, Australian captain Matthew Wade tried to recreate the charms from behind the stumps with a quick stumping, but couldn’t manage to pull it off. Recalling the former captain stumping skills in the ninth over of India’s innings Wade said ‘I am not Dhoni, not quick enough like Dhoni’.

Wade was heard from the stump mic after a narrow stumping miss and Shikhar Dhawan who was on the striker’s end was seen acknowledging the fact with a nod. During India’s chase of 195 runs when Mitchell Swepson was bowling, he delivered a wide ball which was short and outside the off-stump. Dhawan tried to cut it and missed and Wade smartly waited for him to lift his foot so that he could dismiss Dhawan.

Dhawan smiled when Wade made the Dhoni remark as the batsman quickly rooted his foot back. “Not Dhoni, not quick enough like Dhoni!” Wade was caught saying on the stump-mic to which Dhawan responded saying, “Yeah”.

India won the T20I series with six wicket-victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.
