Australia v India: 3rd Test - Day 5
Dhoni is known for his lightning-quick stumpings

MS Dhoni is one of the greatest wicket-keeper batsmen to ever play the sport of cricket. He is known for his lighting-quick keeping behind the stumps and even with age catching up to him, he is still a problem for opposition batsmen.
