Six instances when MS Dhoni got the better of Australian bowlers at the death

#5 124, Nagpur (2009)

Dhoni was in supreme form

After having lost the first one-dayer of the series, India were looking to bounce back, but were reduced to 97/3 when MS Dhoni walked out to bat. He adjusted beautifully to different phases in the innings, first stabilising it along with Gautam Gambhir and then turning on his hard-hitting mode once the death overs arrived.

By the end of the 40th over, India had reached 246/4 and Dhoni was batting on 70 off 80 balls. What followed was a typical Dhoni finish. He scored 54 runs off his next 27 deliveries, helping India post a mammoth 354. His batting at the death was a treat to watch, as he managed to hit the Aussie pacers all over the park.
