After Shankar’s catch, the cricket world was amazed by Dhoni’s agility. Sehwag also commented on it, calling him ‘buzurg’ in a playful way.
Virender Sehwag, the veteran opener for India, praised Chennai Super Kings for their outstanding field performance against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2024 game played at Chepuak Stadium. Senior player Ajinkya Rahane dived forward to make an incredible catch of David Miller, while Rachin Ravindra, who joined CSK this season, picked up a few.Meanwhile, the catch that received the most attention was Vijay Shankar’s catch by legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni A one-handed stunner captured the attention of the Chepauk crowd as the 42-year-old wicketkeeper executed a fully stretched dive 2.7 metres to his right.
The cricket world was amazed by Dhoni’s agility at this age, and even his old teammate Sehwag commented on it, labelling him as ‘buzurg’ with a playful quip.
“Catches win matches. Ajinkya Rahane picked a good catch so did Rachin Ravindra . Buzurg (old) MS Dhoni also picked one,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
Sunil Gavaskar, who was also part of the discussion instantly replied, “You didn’t refer to Rahane as buzurg.”
Sehwag backed his claim and said there is big age difference between Rahane’s and Dhoni’s.
“Their age is not the same, there is a difference and Rahane is also fitter than MS Dhoni. There is a big difference between a 35-year-old and a 41-year-old. MS is getting old now there is no doubt about it,” said Sehwag.
