Tactical genius

Despite stepping down as the captain of the limited-overs side at the beginning of the year, it does not feel like Dhoni is not the captain anymore.
He is seen setting the field on a number of occasions during India's matches and he continues to give his inputs to teammates in order to help them achieve success.
In fact, during the end overs of a match, he is the one who takes over the role of a captain when Kohli goes to field in the deep.
“I don’t think I have ever come across a better cricketing brain just in terms of planning, knowing what’s happening in the game and what can be done. Obviously, I go by my instincts but whenever I ask him anything 8 or 9 out of 10 times what he says, works," said Kohli about Dhoni's tactics.
