However, MS Dhoni kept his calm and kept his mid-off fielder extremely straight as he knew Pollard loved hitting straight. The ploy worked, Pollard was trapped and Chennai Super Kings pocketed their maiden IPL trophy.
Along with his incredible calmness, Dhoni's captaincy is also famous for creative field-settings. The maverick leader from India is credited for introducing several innovative field positions which have proved effective and impactful.
The field positions like leg-slip for a spinner and an extra man at catching position on the off-side is Dhoni's legacy in ODI cricket.
