Indian wicket-keeper MS Dhoni had dropped New Zealand opener Martin Guptill in the initial phase of the Kiwi chase. Kiwis were chasing 325 in 50 overs and every wicket for them was important.

Dhoni was criticized on social media for dropping the attacking opener. But he later made up for it by pulling off a lighting quick stumping of another key batsman of New Zealand, Ross Taylor.

And this time, Dhoni didn't waste a second, literally, to send the batter back.

In the 18th over of the match, Kedar Jadhav somehow managed to beat Taylor, but the batsman couldn't keep his balance. His back foot was in the air for a split second and that was enough for Dhoni.

After stumping, the square leg umpire referred the call to the third umpire. Replay showed that Taylor’s leg is in the air. Social media was in joy after the judgment in India's favor. They praised the class of Dhoni behind the stumps.

Here is the reaction:
