MS Dhoni's habit of creating chaos isn’t hidden from anyone. He is best known for the astonishing decisions taken by him both on and off the field. His calls simply leave the people flabbergasted.

Even during today's match, the former Indian captain did something which initially seemed quite exaggerating and left the people nonplussed. Dhoni let the opening bowlers bowl their 4 overs in the first spell itself. Deepak Chahar and Harbhajan Singh, who were asked to start the proceedings with the ball, weren't removed from the spell for the next 8 consecutive overs.

They were allowed to bowl their whole spell in successive overs. This was a great decision as on one hand, Harbhajan struck three invaluable wickets of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Moeen Ali whilst on the other hand, Deepak Chahar conceded just 17 runs in 24 balls and kept RCB's run rate under control.
