India won the game by a huge margin of 224 runs, their third largest win in terms of runs. Rohit”s destruction, Khaleel”s brutality and Rayudu”s class led India to 2-0 margin. But a game without Dhoni”s magic is incomplete.
Dhoni”s presence behind the stumps is one of the biggest assets for the side now. Even in the last game, his efforts to dismiss opener Hemraj was an example for the same. Today, he has affected one of the fastest stumpings in the history of limited overs cricket.

Keemo Paul was stumped by Dhoni off Jadeja in the 28th over of the game. Windies were falling apart and his wicket was no exception. But what really deserves attention here is the time in which Dhoni dismissed him. Timers showed that it took just 0.08 seconds for the former skipper to take the bails off. Both Jaddu and “Thala” were ecstatic and the latter was full smiles in the middle after his efforts.
Dhoni now has 804 dismissals to his name (619 catches, 185 stumpings) in all formats of the game combined. He is now the third-ranked keeper for maximum dismissals only behind Boucher and Gilchrist. He has already showcased his lightning moves behind the wickets on repeated occasions but the reaction times were a bit higher than the one today. Certainly, these moves from him are a delight to watch not only for his fans but to his teammates as well.
The fifth ODI will be played at Trivandrum on Thursday. Windies side who gave a tough fight to the strong Indian side in second and third games will be looking to level the series whereas India will look to extend their dominance from today”s game. It is expected to be nothing short of an intense battle between the sides before the focus shifts towards T20I series.
