#2 Instincts from behind the stumps
MS Dhoni's instincts from behind the stumps are well known to all. He often guides the bowlers from behind the stumps as he has the best view of the game. Even after his resignation as the skipper, he has guided captain Kohli regarding field adjustments and bowling changes.
His wicketkeeping tricks also surprise the batsmen. The best example of this is the 2016 T20 World Cup. In the last over of India Bangladesh game, Dhoni first brought Hardik Pandya to bowl, taking a major risk and took off his right glove when 2 runs were required off the final delivery.
The skipper had already interpreted the possibilities that could happen on the last ball. The batsman missed the ball and Dhoni ran to the stumps to break them. Owing to his quick instincts India won the game by 1 run.
