#4 Dhoni running Bangladesh player out on the last ball in T20 WC 2016 at Bangalore

India taking on Bangladesh in an important group match at the M Chinnaswamy stadium and had posted a meager score of 146 on the board after batting first. Bangladesh bowlers were impressive their game, picking up wickets at regular intervals.

In reply, the Tigers got off to a good start ably supported by the veteran Tamim Iqbal's 35 from 32 balls. India kept pegging the wickets column as innings progressed but Shakib Al-Hasan stood his ground to bring Bangladesh close to the target. But towards the end, it all came down to 11 runs required to win from 6 balls.

Dhoni trusts Hardik Pandya to bowl the final over as every other bowler had finished their quota of overs.

This was Bangladesh's game to lose and that is exactly what happened from there onwards as Pandya kept bowling low full tosses and batsmen holed out in the deep.

It all came down to 2 runs from 1 ball. Pandya bowls a short ball outside off-stump which batsman can't get bat on and Dhoni, who had removed his right glove to be able to throw properly, collects the ball and sprints towards the stumps to run batsman thereby denying the single and leaving the Bangladesh teary-eyed.
