Be it requiring more than 12 – 15 runs an over or while opposition has to score 3 runs from 3 balls, his calmness has not been beaten.

His unorthodox style of the sport was another unique feature about him. The lighting speed stumping, running out opposition without seeing the stumps, humongous helicopter shots outside stadiums are few of the trademark Dhoni cricketing. Some of his tactical decisions were even a shock to legendary cricketers. Choosing Johinder Sharma over Harbajan Singh in 19th over of a world cup final against Pakistan, providing Ishant Sharma the 18th over of Champions trophy final despite him leaking runs in prior overs, promoting himself up the order in a world cup final and scoring a match winning 91 of 79 were some things that history would always speak of Dhoni.

He was also known for providing ample opportunities to his fellow teammates during his rough patch. Current captain of India in all formats Virat Kohli, players like Rohit sharma, Suresh Raina, etc were believed for their skills and supported heavily during their tough periods. He is a selfless cricketer who always looks out for the Nation’s benefit.
