Out-of-favor India leg-spinner Piyush Chawla was part of the World Cup 2011 win and he talked about how MS Dhoni plotted Jonathan Trott's dismissal in the tournament. It was a high scoring game, and England was chasing 339 in the group stage match.

England were 111/1 with Trott and the then England captain Andrew Strauss already in a 43-run partnership. Dhoni then came with a plan and made a field change that broke the threatening partnership.

“I was having a 45 [short fine-leg] for Trott,” Chawla told Wisden India. “He [Dhoni] told me to move that [fielder] from there and get it to square-leg. I said, ‘I don’t need that’. He said, ‘No, just do that and bowl.’ And I got a square-leg instead of 45, and two balls later, he got out because he tried to play too fine.”

Trott tried to play the ball where the fielder was removed and ended up getting LBW. The plan worked in India's favor and India was back in the game. However, eventually, the game got tied with both teams scoring 338 each.

“He told me he wasn’t keeping that square-leg to stop anything. It was just to show him [Trott] that gap so he tries to play it fine, and he ends up getting lbw,” said Chawla.

The duo of Dhoni and Chawla will be seen again in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in UAE for Chennai Super Kings.
