Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni made the headlines after he dropped an easy catch from behind the stumps during the 22nd match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Andre Russell tried to smack Mustafizur Rahman's delivery in the hope of clearing the fence.

As it turned out, the ball carried towards the wicketkeeper and MS Dhoni who is sharp and decisive from behind the stumps made a rare mistake as he dropped a regulation catch. The Chepauk crowd were completely taken aback by this as they maintained pin drop silence.
