Dhoni has the perfect combination of maturity as well as smartness needed on the field. He has mastered his art of remaining calm even in the toughest situations which makes him the best.

There are various instances which prove his presence of mind, out of which, the runout of Mitchell Marsh is the best one. During an ODI match between India and Australia, Marsh smashed the balls through the covers and signaled the non-striker for 2 runs. While taking the second run, Dhoni was not at the stumps to run him out hence he ran a little slower.

However, as soon as the ball came close to the stumps, Dhoni took the bails at a lightning speed which no one had expected. The gloveman proved why he is the smartest cricketer in the world through this trick which fooled Mitchell Marsh resulting in a fantastic run-out.
