Mahendra Singh Dhoni stepped down from captain’s post in the year 2017. However, he could be seen assisting current skipper Virat Kohli with the field placement on several occasions.

His on-field presence has been a blessing for the men-in-blue but on Tuesday, he did it for the Bangladeshi opponents during the warm-up game at Cardiff.

Dhoni, while batting in the 40th over of the Indian innings, stopped Bangladesh leg-spinner Sabbir Rahman on his tracks and asked him to move the square-leg fielder towards his left.

And just like an obedient ward, Sabbir did not even ask his captain Masrafe Mortaza and promptly moved the fielder as advised by the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman.

Here’s the video:



The 37-year-old scored a brilliant 78-ball 113 as India posted a mammoth 360 run target for Bangladesh. In reply, the Bangla Tigers were bundled out 264 in the 50th over of their innings.

Kohli and Co will begin their World Cup campaign against South Africa on June 5 at The Ageas Bowl.
