Melbourne: MS Dhoni took a brilliant catch to dismiss Soumya Sarkar during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 quarterfinal between India and Bangladesh at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Sarkar was batting well on 29 when he edged one off Mohammed Shami to Dhoni’s left. There was no slip fielder in place, and Dhoni dived across to take it one-handed. READ: India innings highlights
When asked about that catch and the fielding, Dhoni said with a cheeky smile, “And about the catch, fluke happens, so let’s enjoy it, and hopefully it will happen more often.” Dhoni has been a stable wicketkeeper for India, but not the most spectacular. His glovework to the spinners has often been flashy, but rarely has anyone seen him take blinders off the pacers. READ: India should be ready to face any team in the semi-final
Dhoni complimented his team for its fielding efforts. “We had a very good fielding side. We had a game where we dropped quite a few catches, but apart from that, the fielding has been good, the reason being we have got good fielders, and we have got fielders who are like average fielders, so we don’t really have anyone we have to hide in the side, which means on average we are a very good fielding side,” he said.
