5 things MS Dhoni loved doing as a captain

#4 Having an unexpected choice of bowler during crunch situations

Indian fans had the shock of their lives when they saw the ball in Joginder Sharma's hands in 2007 T20 World Cup against Pakistan. With just 13 runs required off 6 balls and Misbah-ul-Haq thrashing the bowlers out of the park, it was indeed a death-or-glory approach by the Indian skipper.

MS Dhoni always surprised the opposition, commentators, experts and the fans with his choice of bowlers during crunch situations.

Another such instance was when he brought back Ishant Sharma to bowl the 18th over (of a 20-over game) after he was hit for 27 runs in his 3 overs. The move turned out to be a remarkable one as Ishant turned the game on his head by picking up Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara in the same over.

Dhoni however suggested that these were not gambles and were well-thought of measures taken by him.
