Who is this man who reminded Sachin Tendulkar of Mahendra Singh Dhoni?
That’s an extraordinary compliment and it came to a little-known
cricketer on the opening night of the IPL 2022 when Chennai Super Kings took on Kolkata Knight Riders.
But Dhoni himself was part of the match and yet Tendulkar found somebody else who reminded him of former India stumper-captain?
Tendulkar’s praise was in favour of Sheldon Jackson who stumped Robin Uthappa in a twinkle of an eye as the batsman overbalanced himself in trying to flick Varun Chakravorty and his bails were whipped by keeper Jackson, moving down the leg side and doing his act in a flash.
Tendulkar tweeted:
Below is the clip of Jackson’s silverquick stumping.
KKR never got Chennai Super Kings going who could muster only 131/5 in their 20 over which was easily overhauled by the winner in 18 overs
