The 2nd ODI at Adelaide was full of events. You must have been very busy watching all the mainstream and regular things that happen in cricket. But meanwhile, we were eyeing on the incidents that most of you have missed. So here are the 10 incidents that you've totally missed,

This happens when Dhoni is behind the stumps!

The fact that MS Dhoni has lightning quick reflexes behind the stumps and knack for knowing whether he got his man is not a secret anymore. But even Dhoni would have to admit that he now operates at such a level that even he would not have imagined. Today, he received a huge mark of respect from Peter Handscomb who walked off after a Dhoni appeal and didn’t wait for the third umpire to raise his finger.

Jadeja unleashes a rocket!

Ravindra Jadeja has always been a great fielder but over the last few years, he has taken a standard of fielding to a level where he can easily be called the best fielder in the world right now. When the Indian all-rounder ran out Usman Khawaja with a peach of a throw, it was more interesting to see the players’ reaction. While Kohi immediately signaled out, Dhoni seemed more interested in stopping the Aussies from stealing a run on an overthrow. 

Fast and furious!

Both Kohli and Dhoni had complete faith in their abilities as, after a slight mix up in the middle, they ran fast and furious in between the wickets to take a couple of runs. Kohli even wanted a three as he set off for it before realising that it was not possible.

Dhawan launches a Tracer Bullet!

We all know how strong Shikhar Dhawan is with his cover drives. Today the Indian opener smashes a magnificent cover drive. Rohit Sharma at the non-striker's end was amazed after seeing such a great shot and went near Dhawan to appreciate him.

Maxwell in rage!

The Ambati Rayudu dismissal gave Glenn Maxwell a moment to celebrate as he utter few words as a send-off to Rayudu. After taking a couple of steps towards his teammates, the Aussie turned around again and threw a few more choice words at the Indian batsman.

Only one name!

There was never a dull moment in the game but the crowd at Adelaide was not so energetic until Virat Kohli took the strike and was just a few runs away from his century.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar failed to understand Dhoni's instruction!

Dhoni shouted “Ghumega” (the ball will turn) which was recorded in the stump mic. But Bhubaneshwar Kumar failed to understand the instruction from Dhoni and he put in the dive and made a mess of it. If only a team had eleven Dhonis, we would easily get to witness a perfect game. 

When you get hitman's wicket!

Everyone in the world knows how destructive Rohit Sharma is. Stoinis understands the importance of Rohit's wicket and after dismissing Rohit Sharma this is how the Aussie all-rounder celebrated.    

Shami misses the easiest run-out!

Mohammad Shami found himself embarrassed after he failed to understand which side he should throw the ball today after his collision with Nathan Lyon.

Dhoni blasts Khaleel

During the fag end of India's chase, Khaleel came down as the waterboy. The youngster ran onto the pitch and Dhoni was not too happy with the bowler and shouted out an obscene word.
