The way MS Dhoni and coach Fleming make decisions, they have confidence in them, even when they are on the verge of losing the match.
Both of them have a lot of understanding in making accurate decisions. Whatever decision they take they always stick to it. He knows what is right for the team. I am very impressed by his thinking.
