India displayed an all-round performance as they beat Sri Lanka in the first T20 of the 3-match series by 93 runs in Cuttack on Wednesday. However, it was Mahendra Singh Dhoni who stole the show again- first with his batting and then his brilliance behind the stupms.
Dhoni, promoted to No.4, teamed up with Manish Pandey to take India to 180 runs at the Barabati Stadium. Dhoni who made an unbeaten 39 finished the innings in typical fashion hitting the last ball for a six.
He then effected 4 dismissals behind the stumps including two catches and two stampings. During tha match, he went past AB De Villiers as the man with most dismissals behind the stumps in T20 Internationals.
Twitter was loving the Dhoni show on display. Here are some of the best reactions:
"Dhoni finishes it off in style"! Last 5 overs 66 runs. India have a competitive score. Sri Lanka will rue the extra 15 they have conceded

Slow motion has no effect on Dhoni's stumping speed. #INDvSL

Dhoni and his last ball six, his stumping, his wicket keeping and everything associated with him is my aesthetic!

Dhoni’s form may be temporary but hitting six on last ball is permanent...
