Watch: MS Dhoni Shows Who Is The Boss On The Field

Earlier this week, India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal had said how MS Dhoni still plays the role of captain despite stepping down from the post earlier this year.

“Dhoni bhai is still our captain,” Chahal had told NDTV.com. “Sometimes, when Kohli bhai fields at mid-on or long-on, then we need someone who can guide us too. It is not possible for Kohli to come up and tell what needs to be done. Then, Dhoni takes over,” he had added.

“Dhoni signals Kohli to remain at his place. He says – tu wahi reh, mai dekh lunga (You stay there, I will handle),” Chahal had said. “Actually, it saves time too. Dhoni has abundance of experience with him. We all are lucky that we are sharing the field with him.”

Well, the latest incident that took place in the ongoing third One-Day International against New Zealand in Kanpur more or less proves Chahal’s claims. Chasing 338, New Zealand were cruising at 214 for 3 with Tom Latham and Ross Taylor going strong. And with Virat Kohli looking clueless on how to get the much-needed breakthrough, Dhoni stepped in.

The former India skipper, who has played an integral role in Kohli’s seamless transition from player to captain, was seen advising Kohli before altering the field placements.
