MS Dhoni was once again heard providing his priceless inputs on Stump mic
Even though he is not the skipper anymore, Dhoni's presence is still felt by many.
We witnessed another crackerjack of an encounter between India and South Africa and one will have to say, India had too much firepower and managed to upstage the opposition by six wickets. Virat Kohli and co. outclassed the opposition in all three departments on the given day, and South African Team were clueless in front of India’s strategies on the field.
South African skipper Faf du Plessis asked the opposition to bowl first after the toss fell in his favor. The Proteas batsmen couldn’t make use of the start as the wickets kept tumbling from one end. Further, the men-in-green went on to post a respectable total following a masterclass of a century from Faf du Plessis who led from the front. In addition,
However, the cricket game is well played between bat and ball, but the interesting part on the given day was how former Indian skipper MS Dhoni guided the bowlers.

Calling Virat as ‘Cheeku’ and Kuldeep as ‘Kulee’ were few of many vocals caught on the stump mic.

Virat Kohli registered his 33rd ODI ton
When India came out to bat, the right-handed batsman Rohit Sharma departed in the first power play after he didn’t time the pull shot. His departure led Virat Kohli to come on to the crease, who hammered the ball all around the ground and registered his 33rd one-day hundred. Also, the comeback lad Ajinkya Rahane played some delightful shots and eventually scored a half-century, which even helped him to announce himself for all-important number four spot. Their 189 runs stand for the third wicket led India in a comfortable position which eventually helped to go one up in six-match one-day series.
The second game will be played at SuperSport Park, Centurion on Sunday (4th February).
