MS Dhoni brought back memories of 2010 when he set a trap for Kieron Pollard with the straight fielder.
Tilak Varma and Kieron Pollard were looking to open their arms in the business end of the innings and this is when Dhoni used his sharp cricketing mind to dismiss the big West Indian.
He knew Pollard was going to go after spinner Theekshana, Pollard had smashed him for a six in the previous over as wel
That is why Dhoni moved the long on fielder to a more straightish long on, right on the ropes.
This was a challenge to Pollard as he likes to hit the ball straight down the ground. Pollard is known for taking such challenges and Dhoni took a bet on that. The move worked as Theekshana bowled a flattish carrom ball, Pollard looked to go aerial but found the hands of Dube in the deep.
