Defending an average total of 252 runs, India seemed to have to got their match today with the Aussie captain Steve Smith dropping the anchor in Kolkata. Smith got a partner in Msxwell, who's more than happy to attack the Indian bowlers.

But Maxwell's stay in the centre proved only a fleeting presence as Yuzvendra Chahal foxed him to charge down the pitch, and thus setting up a stumping opportunity for ever effective Dhoni.

While going for the ball, Dhoni lost his grip. But he took a dive and before hitting the ground, completed the stumping in a miraculous move.
