#3 Dhoni does a split

Dhoni in split position

In the 2nd T20 international against New Zealand, while chasing a target of 197, India lost both their openers very early. It all came down to Dhoni and the skipper Kohli when everyone else failed to deliver. In the 17th over of the match, New Zealand spinner, Mitchell Santner, tried to outsmart Dhoni, who had come down the crease. But Dhoni realized the trap and instantly moved his right foot back into the crease and this left him stuck in a split position.

Wicket-keeper Glenn Phillips who was looking for a stumping chance waited for a few seconds for Dhoni to fall, but Dhoni didn't lose his cool and receded back into the crease after he balanced himself. In spite of Dhoni playing a powerful knock of 49 of 37 balls, India lost the game.

However, fans were left surprised by the fitness level of Dhoni which was put to test by Santner. Needless to say, the former Indian skipper passed the test!
