The incident happened during Rising Pune Supergiants (RPSG) Indian Premier League (IPL) match against the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). In the ninth over of the Punjab innings, Manan Vohra tried to cut a good length delivery from left-arm spinner Ankit Sharma to third man, but Dhoni instead of going for it with his hand, stuck his right leg out and stopped the ball from going past him.

Twitterati praised this unorthodox effort and linked it to a goalkeeper's save.

Dhoni, the goalkeeper, uses his right foot to stop a late cut and save some runs. Superb reflex action. MS Dhoni you are amazing! #KXIPvRPS

Glenn Maxwell played a scintillating cameo hitting an unbeaten 32 off 14 balls under pressure to power Kings XI Punjab to a six-wicket win over Pune to notch up their first victory in the ninth edition of IPL.

Chasing a target of 153, Kings XI Punjab were put in a spot of bother as they slumped to 119 for 4 in the 17th over after a fluent opening stand of 97 between Manan Vohra (51) and Murali Vijay (53). But it was Maxwell who helped the team romp home in 18.4 overs as they won their first match in their third encounter.
