MS Dhoni’s instincts make him the figure that he is. When he bats, his ‘Chanakya’ like brain computes what the bowler will hurl next.
When Dhoni is a captain, he is two steps ahead of the opposition, and behind the stumps, he is already reading the batsman’s next move before the latter has made one.
During the South Africa tour, Dhoni had a silent limited overs series with the bat but not with the tongue.
He provided some great insights to his team bowlers which made a lot of difference in the series. In fact, from time-to-time, he shared inputs to India captain Virat Kohli and often marshalled the troops himself.
