Dhoni’s Direct Throw Stuns Abdul Samad in IPL 2025 Final Over
In the IPL 2025 tournament, during Monday’s match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings, Mahendra Singh Dhoni delivered a remarkable performance. Resuming his responsibilities as captain of Chennai Super Kings, Dhoni once again led the team to victory. Displaying agility behind the stumps, he effected a sharp stumping and took a catch, while also pulling off a stunning throw in the final over to run out Abdul Samad, sending him back to the pavilion.
The video of this moment has gone viral on social media. Fans of Mahendra Singh Dhoni are commenting that perhaps Abdul Samad forgot that Dhoni was behind the stumps.
In the final over of the match, Lucknow Super Giants batsman Abdul Samad was at the crease, with bowler Matheesha Pathirana delivering the over. Pathirana bowled a wide delivery. Given that it was the last over, Abdul Samad attempted a run. As he sprinted from the striker’s end towards the non-striker’s end, Dhoni, having already collected the ball, swiftly threw it towards the stumps at the non-striker’s end. The throw hit the stumps directly, resulting in Abdul Samad being run out.
