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:
