In the first ODI of the ongoing India vs South Africa series in Vadodara, India wicket-keeper Taniya Bhatia affected a lightening-quick stumping to dismiss South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Trisha Chetty. Her glove-work remined everyone of legend India wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni.

It took place on the third ball of the eighth over when Chetty tried to play a slog sweep off India spinner Ekta Bisht but failed to do so. She had lost her balance while playing the shot and that gave ample of time to Taniya Bhatia to dislodge the bails as the batter’s foot was outside the crease. Fans found similarity with the dismissal of MS Dhoni as well. With this dismissal, India were successful to pick up the second wicket.
