While speaking to a leading cricket portal, R Sridhar said that he asks the fielder to throw the ball at the plastic stump and the ball deviates which gives him an opportunity to catch it in the nick of the time. “He does one drill. He just asks someone to throw the ball at a plastic spring stump, so the ball just deviates and he catches it as a nick. That is one drill he does before every game. Sometimes he might join slip catching, too,” revealed Sridhar. Now we know the secret of MS Dhoni’s accuracy behind the stumps.  India vs Afghanistan Cricket Score 28th ODI Match.
