#2 Sri Lanka vs India, Colombo, August 2017
India were calling the shots in Sri Lanka. Having whitewashed the hosts in the Test series, India had already pocketed the one-day series and were 3-0 up. They once again exhibited their dominance, racking up a mammoth 375 batting first with Kohli and Rohit smashing hundreds.
Dhoni, playing his 300th ODI, had already chipped in with an unbeaten 49 and helped debutant Shardul Thakur get his maiden ODI wicket. A delivery down leg-side which Dickwella looked to pull, brushed his glove on the way to Dhoni.
The umpire though signalled it as a wide even though there a huge appeal. Dhoni was convinced there was a noise and conveyed the same to Kohli, who after a chat with Dhoni, went up for the review which brought about Dickwella’s downfall.
Dhoni deserved full credit as he heard a faint noise even with all the noise the crowd were making and once again Kohli, like always, took Dhoni’s word.
