Former India captain and current wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for playing multiple roles for his team. From batting and wicket-keeping to playing the advisory role for his captain and bowlers, one usually finds Dhoni in the midst of things more often than now.
However, what Dhoni did yesterday not only added another facet to his line of work but also came as a source of amazement for his bountiful fans.
It all happened during the 40th over of the Indian innings when Sabbir Rahman was bowling to Dhoni. The 37-year old cricketer stopped the bowler in his run-up and pointed towards the fielder on the leg-side who was perhaps moving from mid-wicket to square leg.
Citing the fielder changing his position or may be standing at an unusual position while the bowler was about to bowl, Dhoni pointed it out to Rahman. Eventually, the fielder was moved to a conventional square leg position.
