What do we say about M S Dhoni that has not already been said? We all know that he’s capable of some really amazing miracles on the cricket field.
But the last IND v NZ T20 (yes, the one we lost) seems to have added another laurel in the former Captain Cool’s hat. Yes! Can we please talk about that split?
His acrobatic stunt in Saturday’s match against the Kiwis at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium was nothing short of EPIC!
You might as well go ahead and say #ThugLife because that was one totally gangsta way to avoid a run out! Makes you wonder, what split-second (pun intended) thoughts prompt such genius ideas in this man’s head, right?
Okay sure, so we didn’t win the match and ruined what would’ve been Kohli’s perfect birthday gift. But I’m pretty certain that the Men in Blue are having a hearty laugh checking out how Dhoni’s stunt on the field has been turned into meme fodder!
These hilarious AF memes that flooded the Internet were enough to turn any match-losing frown upside down. Check’em out!

Mind you, this split is not an easy feat, but then again, when has M S Dhoni ever shied away from tackling the tough ones!
To anyone who still claims Dhoni isn’t fit to play the game anymore, take a split-second and think it through!
Dear Dhoni, you keep giving us umpteen reasons to revel in watching you play! That’s the way, Mahi Way!
