Actually, Dhoni knew that Rohit is not in form at this time. So he will try to find some way or the other to score runs. In such a situation, Dhoni did something as a strategy, which gifted him the wicket of Sharma.

Dhoni decided to see Rohit’s mistake by making a plan

Usually, wicketkeepers stay away from stumps against fast bowlers. But this time Dhoni decided to see Rohit’s mistake by making a plan. Dhoni stood closer to the stump against the fast bowler as the wicketkeeper stood closer to the stump against the spinner. Rohit could not understand the strategy of Dhoni very well and tried to reverse sweep the ball of fast bowler Deepak Chahar and Jadeja got an easy catch. Rohit was dismissed without opening the account on 3 balls.
