MS Dhoni is known around the world for his hard-hitting, captaincy and his finishing abilities. But in the course of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016, he is slowly started to gain the  reputation of managing to stop the ball wit his leg, while wicketkeeping. He had also done the same in the match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and has repeated his feat in this match too. In the match between Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Pune, Dhoni read the turn beautifully and when Virat Kohli missed the ball, he extended his right leg to stop the ball. A light moment followed when Dhoni smiled at his teammates. LIVE CRICKET SCORECARD: Rising Pune Supergiants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, IPL 2016, Match 16 at Pune

Kohli and de Villiers are batting extremely well and have put on over 50 for the third wicket after KL Rahul was dismissed early on. RPS know that this is a dangerous partnership and they are doing their best to get rid of these batsmen. Even in the previous match against Mumbai Indians (MI), both Kohli and de Villiers were dismissed in the same over, which turned the game around. RPS will hope to do the same here as well.

It was Dhoni, who had won the toss and elected to bowl first. Kohli has now lost four tosses in a row. RPS have made just one change in this match with Rajat Bhatia coming in place of Irfan Pathan. RCB have made a couple of changes of their own. They have roped in Mandeep in place of Varun Aaron. Tabraiz Shamsi, who was called up as a replacement for Samuel Badree in the RCB squad, comes in place of Travis Head.
