Former Indian captain MS Dhoni has set the benchmark for all the upcoming wicketkeepers with his excellent skills behind the stumps. In addition to being a wise captain, Dhoni is renowned for his lightning-fast glovework. He has put forth many displays of excellent wicket-keeping that have left everyone in his awe.

Although Dhoni didn't have a great start in wicketkeeping, he eventually developed into a monster behind the stumps. Dhoni frequently single-handedly won games for India by denying opportunities to opposing batters. The most well-known instance was against Bangladesh in the 2016 20-20 World Cup.

Because Dhoni set such a high standard, it is only natural to draw comparisons to MS whenever wicketkeeping prospects approach their level. Arjun Saud, the wicketkeeper for Biratnagar Super Kings, performed two insane runouts in the current Nepal T20 league that were almost identical to those produced by MS Dhoni.

The incident happened during the Janakpur Royals' five-wicket victory over Biratnagar. Saud performed the first run out in an amazing way, hitting the stumps while completely in the air and appearing to be somersaulting. The keeper had to jump a long distance to catch Sikandar Raza's throw because it was not on target. This was not the end, however, as he managed to run out once more, this time by making a no-look attempt at the stumps.

Even the commentator was overwhelmed by his acrobatic efforts as he said, "You've made MS Dhoni proud."

Here are Arjun Saud's run-outs

Lumbini All Stars are at the top of the points standings with three victories in as many games, while Pokhara Avengers, who have not yet opened an account, are last.
