Cardiff: Team India wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni was in top-notch form on Tuesday as he scored a brilliant century against Bangladesh in the World Cup warm-up game at Sophia Gardens here.

The innings was no less than a treat for the eyes for Indian fans as they once again witnessed 'vintage Dhoni', who smashed 113 off 78 balls and his innings included 8 fours and 7 sixes.

  • Interestingly, Dhoni's ton wasn't the only masterclass that fans witnessed on Tuesday as an interesting incident happened when he was batting in the 40th over.
  • Right in the middle of the match, Dhoni asked part-time spinner, Sabbir Rahman, to stop bowling midway and advised him to remove his fielder from mid-wicket to square leg after observing some irregularities in the field.
  • What happened next was fascinating as Sabbir actually listened to MSD and did as he said.

Here's the video of the incident:

Meanwhile, an all-round effort by Team India saw them beating Bangladesh by 95-run in their second warm-up match.

After KL Rahul and Dhoni smashed a ton each to help India post 359/7, the Men in Blue bowled out Bangladesh for 264 runs.
