Occasions when MS Dhoni proved that he is the true gentleman of Cricket 

#2 Handing the captaincy to Sourav Ganguly in his last Test

Sourav Ganguly was one of the greatest captains of India, who instilled a fighting spirit in the team, taking the reins after the spot-fixing scandal at the turn of the millennium. It was during his tenure as captain, that Dhoni made his debut into the Indian squad. Ironically, Ganguly ended up playing his last match under the captaincy of Dhoni at Nagpur against the Australians.

On the fifth day of the Test, when victory seemed inevitable, Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Dada. At first, he relented. However, when Aussies were 9 down, Dhoni once again offered the role to Ganguly.

This time, he accepted the offer and made bowling changes and field placements for three overs. It was indeed, a respectful gesture by MSD to one of the most successful captains of India, and he won many hearts by this special act.
