Mahendra Singh Dhoni may have relinquished his captaincy but continues to lead the Indian team with his invaluable guidance from behind the wicket.

During the second India-New Zealand ODI match in Pune on Wednesday, the wicket-keeper was caught guiding not only the bowlers but also the captain Virat Kohli.

First, it was part-timer Kedar Jadhav, who got Dhoni's undivided attention. Dhoni yelled, "Bahut badhiya! (very good)" and "badhiya" when Jadhav bowled two tight deliveries.

"Ye ball achcha hai iske liye (this ball is good for him)", said Dhoni when Tom Latham failed to score off a delivery. "Har teesra ball ye daal sakta hai (you can bowl this every third delivery)," he continued.

Dhoni added, "Ek baar karenge to fir dimag me ghusta hai (if we do this again, then he might notice). Badhiya, dheere hi daalna... (good, keep bowling slow)".

Dhoni also asked captain Kohli to place couple of fielders in the cover area. "Cheeku, do-teen jan idhar chod de! (Cheeku, leave 2-3 people to cover this area)," Dhoni told Kohli.

Later in the over, Dhoni asked, "Cheeku ek ball aur rakhega? Ek ball jo pehle rakha tha... catch ke liye? (Cheeku, will you keep the fielder for one more ball? For a possible catch?")
