Watch: Faf du Plessis recalls run-out by MS Dhoni from 2016 T20 World Cup against Bangladesh during SA20 2025/26
Faf du Plessis has recalled the run-out by MS Dhoni during the T20 World Cup 2016 in India against Sri Lanka as he compared it with Donovan Ferreira from the 2025/26 season of the SA20 competition.
The captain of the Johannesburg Super Kings (JSK) from the 2025/26 season of the SA20, Faf du Plessis, recalls the former World Cup captain, MS Dhoni, and the latter’s run-out from behind the wickets during the T20 World Cup 2016 against Bangladesh when he rushed to the stumps after the batter missed the short ball from Hardik Pandya.
During the 2025/26 season of the SA20, Donovan Ferreira ran Eathan Bosch off the final delivery of regulation to ensure that the scores would remain the same. Du Plessis, who anticipated a catch-out dismissal, didn’t hope for a run-out on the final ball.
“I remember there was a game a long time ago, when MS Dhoni was standing behind the stumps for India. I think it was against Bangladesh in a World Cup, and I remember the guy bowling almost like a cut ball across him. So, I just told him (Mulder), just go short, across him, and hopefully we get a wicket. I wasn’t banking on a run out. So, we are bowling for run outs now.” Du Plessis expressed in the post-match presentation.

“We're doing some good things. And I think the nice thing is we feel like we're still getting to play better as a team. We're doing things slowly, better. We're certainly not the finished article. So, tonight it's nice to squeak your bum over the line and get two points.” The former South Africa captain addressed.
Durban was restricted to 205/8 with Evan Jones playing a fantastic knock of 43 runs in just 17 balls at a strike rate of 252.94, scoring four boundaries and three sixes. However, JSK completed a successful win in the super-over.
