Australia vs India 2020-21- Not Quick Enough Like Dhoni: Matthew Wade Says After Tring To Stump Shikhar Dhawan

MS Dhoni is one of the quickest wicketkeeper, who has awe-struck many with his unbelievable stumpings. Australia’s wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade, who was also leading Australia in the second T20I against India, was quick to realize that he was not fast as a former Indian cricketer after he missed stumping Shikhar Dhawan.

While Dhawan was batting during India’s chase of 195 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday, he missed a cut shot off Mitchell Swepson’s bowling. He lost his balance momentarily and seeing his foot off the ground; Wade immediately whipped the bails off.

Replays showed that Dhawan had got his foot down just in the nick of time.

Immediately after the third umpire decision, Matthew Wade was heard telling Dhawan that he was not as quick as MS Dhoni.

“Not Dhoni, not quick enough like Dhoni,” Wade is heard saying from behind the stumps as Dhawan breaks into a laugh.

Earlier, stand-in skipper Matthew Wade led from the front with a blistering half-century and powered Australia to 194 for five against India in the second T20 International here on Sunday. Leading the side in the absence of an injured Aaron Finch, Wade smashed 58 off 32 balls while Steve Smith made a breezy 38-ball 46 after India opted to field.

For the visitors, T Natarajan finished with fine figures of 2/20 in his four-over spell. Australia accumulated 62 runs in the last five overs after a few tight middle overs.

While Chasing, Shihar Dhawan launched a flurry of boundaries to score 52 runs off 36 balls. The momentum was further carried by Virat Kohli, who scored 40 runs off 24 balls. Hardik Pandya turned out to the man of the match as he struck two sixes in the last over to chase the target with two balls still left to play.

With the victory in the T20I series, India has also clinched the series although one match is still left to be played in Sydney.
