Australia were nearing a win but England’s fightback kept the match hanging in balance. With the roller-coaster ride about to end, Australia, desperate in search of final wickets, set an extremely attacking field. Though the match ended in a draw, the pictures of the field setting from Australia went viral on internet.

Taking one of the pictures, Indian Premier League-side Kolkata Knight Riders made a collage of two images wherein the second picture was of MS Dhoni. In the picture, Dhoni was also surrounded by a similar field set by KKR during one of the IPL games.

“That moment when a classic move in Test cricket actually reminds you of a T20 masterstroke,” said the two-time IPL champions while tweeting the picture.

Giving it back to KKR, Dhoni’s IPL teammate and India player Ravindra Jadeja said: “Its not a master stroke!Just a show off [sic].”
