During the second T20I between India and Australia in Melbourne on January 29, 2016, MS Dhoni executed a remarkable stumping that left even the Australian wicketkeeper in disbelief. James Faulkner, batting at No. 7, attempted a cut shot against Ravindra Jadeja. The ball brushed his bat, clipped Dhoni’s pad, and ricocheted onto the stumps, leaving Faulkner stranded outside his crease. Replays confirmed that Dhoni had not used his gloves to complete the stumping, sparking debate on whether it was a calculated move or sheer accident. Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey praised Dhoni's brilliance, suggesting that even the improbable seemed intentional due to Dhoni's exceptional skills.
