Dhoni stumping News
For the record, Dhoni is the only wicket-keeper in the history to have affected a century of stumpings in ODI cricket, a feat which is unlikely to be repeated again.
In the previous match, Maxwell became a victim of Dhoni's brilliant stumping, with Chahal. In the series opener in Chennai too, Chahal removed Maxwell.
India lead the five-match ODI series 1-0 after winning the opener on Chennai by 26 runs via DLS method.
While defending the revised target of 164 runs in 21 overs, Dhoni contributed with two catches and a stumping.
The former Indian skipper affected the 99th stumping of his career by whipping off Lankan opener Danushka Gunathilaka's bails in second ODI.
Riding on Lewis' 125 not out, the hosts won the match by 9 wickets as they chased down India's total of 190 with 9 balls to spare.
Earlier in the innings, Dhoni took a flying, one-handed catch to dismiss Marlon Samuels. In all, the former Pune captain involved three dismissals, making his IPL tally to 102.
Pune successfully defended 161 to win by 27 runs.
