New Delhi: Cricket is still the gentleman’s game. But every now and then, it also needs a reminder on the game should be played. And there better sight than seeing a batsman walk.
On Wednesday, former India captain Mahendra Singh showed the world why he is regarded as one of the greatest statesman of the game.
With Rising Pune Supergiant still needing more consolidation while chasing 156-run target set by hosts Kolkata Knigth Riders in their IPL match, Dhoni could still opted to stay there, and play ignorant to the faintest of nicks he got.
Kuldeep Yadav and wicket-keeper were boisterous, as it should be, considering the value of Dhoni’s wicket. But it was not the umpire who sent Dhoni back, but the Ranchi man himself.
After playing the shot, he walked. He didn’t even flinched.
Here’s the LINK to the video.
