During the second ball of the 37th over, Dhoni ran out Neesham as the India wicketkeeper's presence of mind came to the fore. Dhoni sensed the confusion in the batsman's mind and quickly gathered the ball and hit the stumps.
You don't have the game won until you have him out — James Neesham
Till today, James Neesham seemed to be wary about Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s batting skills only. But after what happened in the 5th ODI between India and New Zealand on Sunday, Neesham will be forever wary about the former India captain’s wicketkeeping skills.
During the second ball of the 37th over, Dhoni ran out Neesham as the India wicketkeeper's presence of mind came to the fore. Neesham tied to seal a single and was not sure where the ball had gone. Dhoni sensed the confusion in the batsman's mind and quickly gathered the ball that hadn't gone too far from the wicket and hit the stumps. Neesham was well out of the crease.

James Neesham LBW appeal. It was out. Not Out given by umpire. #Dhoni punished by direct hit run out....
Dhoni Haters...
