#1 Assisting Faf du Plessis during cramps

This incident occurred during the fifth ODI between India and South Africa at the Wankhede, Mumbai, which was a series decider. Though the South African batsman were on great song, hot and humid weather was taking a toll on their bodies, with players constantly suffering from cramps. Same was the case with Faf du Plessis. He was in excruciating pain by the time he reached his hundred. Hence, he tried hitting a few strokes to maintain the flow of runs.

In one such attempt, du Plessis got a horrible cramp on his legs and screamed out in pain. Dhoni immediately recognized the urgency of the situation and immediately went to du Plessis' assistance, before the Protea medical team arrived.

In a situation when any captain would have been stressed due to the mounting pressure and take the break in gameplay as a welcome sight to make new plans, MSD went to Faf's assistance, without wasting a second. This speaks volumes about his spirit and values for his competitors.
