In the eighth match of the IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings legend MS Dhoni showcased his popular lightning stumping act to stun Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Phil Salt, whose wicket was crucial for the hosts CSK.
After CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad chose to field first, RCB got a good start, as the openers Phil Salt and Virat Kohli set up a 45-run partnership for the first wicket in 5 overs. While Salt was really aggressive with the bat, MS Dhoni's familiar lightning stumping act ended the English batter's innings for 32 off 16 balls, where Salt hit five fours and one six.

Noor Ahmad delivered that fifth over of the innings, where his first over of the match ended with a key wicket. While the delivery was angling away outside off, Salt missed his cover drive attempt. Wicketkeeper MS Dhoni collected the ball and sharply hit the stumps. Although the initial look was no big danger for Salt, the replay showed Salt's foot was in the air for a few seconds, and those were enough for Dhoni to work cleanly to bring the important wicket for his team.

RCB captain Rajat Patidar scored 51 off 32 balls with the help of four fours and three sixes. There was also a crucial cameo from Tim David with 22 not out in eight balls with one four and three sixes, as RCB scored 196/7 in 20 overs. In reply, CSK couldn't fight as the opener Rachin Ravindra (41), Ravindra Jadeja (25), and the no.9 batter MS Dhoni (30*) managed to reach the 20-run mark as CSK scored 146/8 (20 overs) and RCB won by 50 runs.
