Watch: How MS Dhoni's Shrewd Planning Led To Rohit Sharma's 16th Duck In IPL History
MS Dhoni is considered to be one of the master tacticians of cricket and his brilliance was in full display as he carefully orchestrated the dismissal of Rohit Sharma during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians on Saturday. Rohit demoted himself to No 3 in a bid to find form and as soon as the MI skipper came out to bat, Dhoni had a specific plan for him. He came up to the stumps in order to stop Rohit from stepping out of the crease and kept the third-man fielder inside the circle to put extra pressure. It worked instantly as Rohit ended up top-edging the third ball to Ravindra Jadeja off the bowling of Deepak Chahar.
