2- Pehli ball thoda tez daalna, ye pehli hi ball par aage badhega
India was playing against Australia in Mohali in 2013. Australia was in a good position and Michael Clarke had just come to the field. Dhoni knew that Clarke was good at playing spin and anticipated that Clarke would hit his first ball hard.
He told Ravindra Jadeja at the bowling end, “Pehli ball thoda tez daalna, ye pehli hi ball par aage badhega” (bowl the first one faster, he will charge down the wicket on the very first ball itself).
Jadeja followed Dhoni's instructions and delivered the ball at a pace that Clarke could not judge and missed the ball. Of course, Dhoni didn't miss the chance and Clarke was stumped out.
