Asia Cup 2018: Twitter Erupts As MS Dhoni Guides Rohit Sharma On Field And Move Pays Off Immediately

MS Dhoni was once again seen guiding Team India on the field in the ongoing Super Four game against Bangladesh in Asia Cup.

Dhoni stepped down from captaincy at the start of last year. But that decision has not at all stopped from India’s most decorated and experienced player to guide his teammates on the field.

Dhoni has been seen heavily involved in all the decision makings. Starting from field placements, bowling changes, DRS calls and advising the bowlers, Dhoni rarely shies away from taking responsibility. Well, a similar site was witnessed against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup game against Bangladesh.

In the tenth over of the innings, Ravindra Jadeja was hit for a couple of fours by Shakib Al Hasan. After hitting a four on the off side, the Bangladesh allrounder dragged another one from outside off and swept it through deep square leg for a boundary.  MS Dhoni then decided to alter the fielding placement. He went to Rohit Sharma to advise him. As a result, Rohit positioned Shikhar Dhawan at square leg and the move immediately paid off.

On the very next delivery, Shakib played the same shot but this time the ball went into the hands of Dhawan instead of crossing the boundary ropes.

And the fans were quick to notice the incident as they took to Twitter to hail Dhoni.

Here are some of the reactions on MS Dhoni:

Once a Leader, Always the Leader!
MS Dhoni's prowess about the game is unparalleled. One more fine example of his ability to read the game shown today!

Dhoni has given up on captaincy. But captaincy hasn't given up on Dhoni.#INDvBAN #INDvsBAN #AsiaCup2018 @ChennaiIPL

MS Dhoni and captaincy work parallel to each other. It's more like Sachin Tendulkar, and the straight drive goes hand in hand.#INDvBAN #AsiaCup2018

Meanwhile, India bowled out Bangladesh for just 173. Comeback man Ravindra Jadeja starred with the ball, picking up 4 wickets for just 29 off his ten overs.

At one stage, it looked like Bangladesh would not be able to cross the 150-run mark when they were reduced to 101 for 7. However, Mehidy Hasan and Mashrafe Mortaza shared a 66-run stand to give some respectability to the total.
