5 best ODI wins under MS Dhoni

#2 India vs Australia, CB Series Finals, 2008

India broke the Australian hoodoo back in 2008 when they shrugged the hosts in two successive matches; the first final in Sydney, and the second final in Brisbane.

After winning the first final at the Sydney Cricket Ground, a buoyed Indian team batted first in Brisbane and once again it was Sachin Tendulkar who took matters in his own hands as he played a special innings of 91 runs which helped the visitors get to a formidable score of 259.

Australia never got going during their chase barring a partnership between Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds. Once they were separated, India walked all over the hosts and won the game by nine runs and thus clinching the trophy.

This is what Dhoni said at the end of the match, "It's the toughest conditions out here. The way we improved our batting and backing each other was an important point. The way Sachin started the last few matches was at the right time. It's really good to have a team that's performing. It doesn't get better than this, beating the top side in the world."
