‘There is no wicketkeeper like him’- Harbhajan Singh praises MS Dhoni’s wicketkeeping skills in IPL 2025

Former Indian cricket player Harbhajan Singh commended MS Dhoni of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for his outstanding wicketkeeping performance in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. With the gloves, the 43-year-old stumper-batter, who had knee surgery last year, performed admirably. When he removed skipper Suryakumar Yadav from the game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) last night, it was clear how quick he is behind the stumps.

Yadav attempted to play an inside-out shot off Noor Ahmad in the eleventh over, but he missed it because he misread the ball’s line. Before the batsman could get his bat within the crease, Dhoni collected the ball and destroyed the stumps. The ball went straight to the keeper. By the time Dhoni struck the stumps, Yadav had already left the crease. Dhoni finished the stumping in an absolutely amazing 0.12 seconds.

Following the ejection, the crowd went wild, and the recordings went viral on social media, where everyone commended him for being the best goalie despite his young age. Even though he faced only two balls, the man came to bat at the No. 8 position. In his YouTube video, Harbhajan also discussed MI and their batting.

Even now, no wicketkeeper compares to MS Dhoni. That kind of wicketkeeping was lightning fast at this age. MI could have batted better, so I think they’ll be disappointed. It was the initial game. MI’s total might have been a winning one if five or six games had been place on this field,” he stated.

There was excitement around the stadium: Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh underlined how much the audience enjoyed seeing MS Dhoni on the crease. Even though the batter only played two balls, the entire time he was there, the mood in Chepauk was electrifying. Every year, the fans show their unwavering devotion to Dhoni by following him across the nation.

“When Dhoni came out to bat, he played two balls, but the entire stadium was filled with enthusiasm,” he continued.
