Mahi Dhoni continues to lead the India team from behind the stumps. The former India captain was heard advising and guiding young spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav throughout Australia’s innings. Dhonis name was recommended for the prestigious awards.
The stump mike picked up interesting little nuggets, which involved everything from bowling length to the type of delivery, dished out by Dhoni.
Mahi Dhoni’s tips came in handy for the spinners as Yadav bagged the wickets of David Warner and Marcus Stoinis, while Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade and Pat Cummins were dismissed by Chahal.
“Woh maarne waala daal naa andar yaa baahar koi bhi (bowl the one where he attempts to hit, turning in or away, anything is fine)”, Dhoni told Kuldeep.
“Ghumane waala daal ghumane waala (bowl the one that turns),” Dhoni was constantly heard advising Chahal and Kuldeep.
“Na, na, na. Isko itna aage nahi (not this full),” Dhoni told Kuldeep after he was unhappy with the latter’s line and length with Glenn Maxwell at the crease.
“Tu bhi nahin sunta hai kya (You also won’t listen)? Aise, aise dalo (bowl it like this)”, Mahi told Chahal.
