NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Leading a cricket team may not be rocket science but India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni proved it involves a bit of physics in Wednesday's World Twenty20 heartstopper against Bangladesh.

With Bangladesh needing two runs to humble their 'Big Brother' off the final delivery from Hardik Pandya, Dhoni made a masterstroke tactical decision following another brain-storming session that marked the late stages of India's defence of a below-par total in a contest crucial to their semi-final hopes.
