Time and again, Dhoni has bailed out the team from many hopeless situations. Last year, he saved India from an embarrassment against Sri Lanka. After being put in to bat first, India was seven down for just 29 runs. The veteran helped India reach a respectable total of 112, which was, however, not enough to win the match.

Back in 2012 against Pakistan, India was five down for 29 and was set for a low score before MS Dhoni stepped in to score a century and help the team to cross the 200-run mark.

So, whenever India find themselves in a situation like this, they can always rely on Dhoni to score runs and help the team reach a good total.
