MS Dhoni stops bowler in-between to adjust field for Bangladesh

New Delhi : Mahendra Singh Dhoni reassured fans with a brilliant ton that he is all set for a great show in coming days. He struck 113 runs off 78 balls during India’s second World Cup 2019 warm-up match against Bangladesh at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Tuesday.

During the match he proved why he is a legend when it comes to cricket. In the 40th over of India's innings, he stopped Bangladesh bowler Sabbir Rahman midway and asked him to remove a fielder who was standing in the middle of nowhere.

In a surprise to everyone, the Bangladeshi team actually followed his advise and changed the position of the fielder. As per the commentators, the fielder was standing at an awkward position (mid-wicket to square leg). which irked Dhoni, who was getting ready to face the delivery.

Watch Video Below:

His knock along with KL Rahul’s (108) century powered Team India to a mammoth total of 359/7 win in their 50 overs.

Chasing 360 to win, Bangladesh started on a positive note, with Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar rotating well to reach 49 with no loss, before Jasprit Bumrah (2/25) turned the screw. Bumrah removed opener Soumya Sarkar on the fourth delivery of the ninth over and made it two in two when he stunned Shakib Al Hasan with a brilliant 141 kmph yorker.

A resilient 120-run stand between Das (73) and Mushfiqur Rahim (90) did offer hope for Bangladesh but they were only able to put up 264 in 49.3 overs.
