India's first ODI of their three-match series against England saw Mahendra Singh Dhoni play as non-captain for the first time in 10years.
And Dhoni, who is way to used to calling the shots, forgot he was just the wicket-keeper of the Indian cricket team while Virat Kohli leads the side.
During the 27th over when England were batting, Eoin Morgan was caught by Dhoni behind the stumps. After the decision was ruled in favour of the English captain, Dhoni immediately signalled for review.
Little did it strike him that reviews can only be signalled by the captain of the team - in this case Virat Kohli. The new skipper tackled the situation with brilliance and showed his faith in India's former skipper by appealing for a review.

MS Dhoni may not be the captain of the Indian team, but his experience in the squad is unparalleled and much required.
