#3 Suggesting MS Dhoni as the Indian captain
MS Dhoni is arguably the best Indian captain ever. He achieved what any other could not. The only captain in the cricket history to have all three ICC trophies in his cabinet, Dhoni touched the exaltations of success.
When the seniors like Tendulkar, Dravid, and Ganguly opted out of the WT20 2007, BCCI had to select an inexperienced side for the tournament and were skeptical about the leader of the young Turks.
Once, Sharad Pawar, the former BCCI chief, had revealed that it was Sachin Tendulkar who suggested the name of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the captain for the ICC WT20 2007, and he was quite sure about that.
Later, when Anil Kumble took retirement from international cricket, BCCI looked towards Sachin for his third stint as Indian Test captain, but Sachin put forward the name of Mahendra Singh Dhoni who was already leading ODI and T20 teams.
