MS Dhoni stumps Keemo Paul in an unbelievable 0.08 seconds
What's the story
MS Dhoni might be failing with the bat this season, but what makes the former skipper indispensable is his lightning speed behind the wicket.
Dhoni has many-a-times helped India with his stumpings and did so again in the fourth ODI between India and West Indies at the Brabourne Stadium, stumping out Keemo Paul in 0.08 seconds.
Read on to find out more.
Incident
Dhoni's stumping even left Jadeja surprised
The stumping happened in the 28th over, which was being bowled by Ravindra Jadeja.
Interestingly, even Jadeja did not notice the stumping because it happened so fast.
Paul was batting on 19 when he went slightly away from the crease, trying to hit the ball.
He missed and within 0.08 seconds, Dhoni managed to knock off the bails, walking towards Jadeja with a smile.

World Cup
Dhoni is an indispensable asset ahead of 2019 World Cup
The World Cup is a few months away and considering the brilliant wicket-keeping of Dhoni, he remains indispensable.
Further, his guidance to spinners is invaluable.
Dhoni has been excluded from the squad for the T20I series against WI and Australia.
The selectors want to train either DK or Pant as the second wicket-keeper.
However, these two have never displayed such finesse behind the stumps.
Batting
Dhoni's batting, however, remains a concern
MS Dhoni still remains the sharpest behind the wickets, but what may be a reason of worry is his slump in batting form.
Notably, in 2018, MS averages 25.00 in 13 ODI innings. In T20Is, he has scored 123 runs in 5 innings.
In 2018, Dhoni has been a part of seven T20Is and he will not get much game-time before ODIs against Aussies.
