3) Post-2011 World Cup
Rating: 8.5/10
India hosted the 2011 World Cup and were one of the favourites to lift the trophy with a very strong line-up. MS Dhoni had established himself as the leader of the pack and his reputation as a leader was growing with each series.
He would play arguably his best knock ever in the finals against Sri Lanka, where his unbeaten 91 led India to the trophy .
For a couple of years after the 2007 World Cup, Dhoni sported a more conventional look. As he captained the side in all 3 formats of the game, Dhoni let his game do the talking at that point.
As the team posed for photographs in front of the Gateway of India in Mumbai, MS Dhoni unveiled a new look as he trimmed his hair completely and sported a near-bald look.
Posing in a suit with the World Cup Trophy, he might have never looked better.
