The Chennai skipper showed off his fitness once again as he took an excellent flying catch behind the stumps to dismiss DC skipper Shreyas Iyer.

The much-awaited clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on Friday (September 25) saw veteran wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni show-off his gliding skills in the air as he took one incredible catch during matchday seven of the Indian Premier Leauge (IPL) 2020.

At 39, a lot of people doubted Dhoni's fitness ahead of IPL 2020 after the former Indian skipper spent more than 400 days away from the cricketing pitch.

However, the doubters were proven wrong during CSK's first match as the cricketing world saw an MS Dhoni with huge muscles and better physic. The Chennai skipper showed off his fitness once again as he took an excellent flying catch behind the stumps to dismiss DC skipper Shreyas Iyer.

In the last ball of the 18th over, Sam Curran decided to send in a back of the length delivery which was misjudged by Iyer as the DC batsman ended up with a wild swing at the ball.

The delivery caught the top-edge of Shreyas' bat and went behind at a bullet speed.

However, MS Dhoni rolled back the years and went airborne to take an excellent catch for his side.

Earlier in the day, CSK won the toss and welcomed DC to bat first.

Openers Shikhar Dhawan (35) and Prithvi Shaw gave Delhi an excellent start and formed a 94-run stand.

Shaw bagged a well-deserved half-century before Piyush Chawla dismissed him for 64 and Dhawan in quick successions.

Rishabh Pant (37*) and Shreyas Iyer (26) kept the scoreboard ticking with Marcus Stoinis (5*) providing the final push to help Delhi Capitals hoist 175/3.
