Many times, the spinner praised Ms Dhoni for her valuable advice from behind the stump, and Noah Ahmad is the latest spinner to benefit from the insights of legendary wicketkeeper Batman.
On Thursday (March 28th) the left-arm spinner cleaned up the dangerous Liam Livingston shortly after having a small chat with Ms Dhoni during a match between the Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challengers’ Bengaluru at Masidan Baram Stadium in Chennai.
The incident took place at the beginning of the 16th, when Noor Ahmad was preparing to deliver the over. Just before the overs began, Ms Dhoni was seen advising an Afghan spinner, and was quickly rewarded.
On the first ball of the overs, Rajat Patidar took a single and Livingston hit Noah Ahmad six times with the second ball. However, the CSK spinner had the final laugh when he cast the English star on his next stream. The right-handed batsman moved the legside to make room for himself.

But Noor quickly changed his length, and it was enough to outfox Livingston. The RCB batter was unable to make contact with the ball and bowled nicely. Dhoni also saw him tap the shoulder after the wicket. Livingston left after scoring 10 runs from nine balls.

The latest firing further strengthened Noor’s record against Livingston. The younger spinner has maintained his advantage in rivalry over Livingston so far. Noor has bowled 21 deliveries to England Allrounder so far, and has rejected him four times, admitting 27 runs.
Meanwhile, Noor enjoys yet another great outing with a CSK ball in the ongoing IPL. In the first match of his team’s season, he picked up four wickets against the Mumbai Indians. In the ongoing game against the RCB, he finished the spell with 3 wickets with 36 runs. He is currently an IPL 2025 orange cap holder.
Speaking of the game, RCB was 177/7 in the final of the innings at the time of writing this report.
