2. Instructions to the Spinners

England v India - 1st ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
We have started seeing this very often.

Over the past couple of years, India has grown to be a formidable bowling side in the limited overs set-up. They have developed this habit of picking up wickets in the middle overs and preventing any sort of partnerships. The two wrist spinners, in particular, have been causing havoc in the opposition camp by picking up wickets in regular intervals.

Both Kuldeep and Chahal are very young and some might consider that factor to be their weakness, owing to their lack of experience. However, that's not the case. What's often left unnoticed is Dhoni's messages from behind the stumps to the spinners.

It helps them correct their line and invite the batsmen into their traps. Dhoni's advice more often than not works out. It not only helps the two young spinners in that match but also in the longer run. Dhoni is the most experienced player in the team and his instructions are gold.
