May 15, 2020, The Liberacy:- MS Dhoni, the Indian wicketkeeper, as every cricket fan knows, is marvelous behind the stumps. Every player has something to say about their encounter, ‘Of saving their wickets from him’.
A story told by a Bangladeshi batsman Sabbir Rahman was no different.
Sabbir told the media of how he learned a lesson from the 2016 T20 Worldcup that saved him in 2019 WorldCup.
Bangladeshi batsman was stumped in the 2016 T20 WorldCup by MS Dhoni.
Sabbir in that T20 Worldcup match threatened India with his 15 balls 26 runs play. It was just a matter of time that Sabbir stepped out of the crease to hit a ball by Yuzvendra Chahal, but the ball ducked the bat and went to the wicketkeeper and MS Doni stumped him back to the pavilion.
India won that match by 1 run.
A similar incident happens in the 2019 WorldCup in England, but this time Sabbir managed to get inside the crease and looked at MS Doni and said, “Not Today”.
The player remembers everything clearly and has told several times about how he learned to tackle the stumping, as it haunted him for a long time.
