SK Flashback: When MS Dhoni deposited Clint McKay into the stands to stun Australia

MS Dhoni’s self-belief

Over the years, the hallmark of Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been his tranquil temperament to counter challenges. He hardly doubts his ability to get his team over the line and during the closing stages of the chase, he displays his mettle as a finisher more often than not.

Not for once did he panic, play a false stroke and succumb to the pressure of a run chase. Quite astonishingly, his knock of 44 runs had only a solitary six and no boundaries. He took the chase deep down the innings and pulled out the humungous six that got India home with two balls to spare.
