Top 10 ODI Innings of the Century

#1 MS Dhoni 91* vs Sri Lanka (Final, ICC Cricket World Cup at Mumbai, Apr 2, 2011)

MS Dhoni - India v Sri Lanka, 2011

MS Dhoni's performance in the final of the 2011 World Cup tournament is widely considered to be the best batting performance in an intense match. When Dhoni promoted himself in the batting order, that too in a World Cup final, nitpickers expected it to be a great opportunity to criticize him. But Mahi proved why he is one of the greatest finishers in ODIs.

Dhoni scored a plucky 91 off 78 balls, forming crucial partnerships with Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh. The awe-inspiring innings, which made a defendable target look easy, came against an experienced bowling line-up led by Lasith Malinga.

Bearing in mind the risks he took, the importance of the situation and the way he handled the pressure, Dhoni's innings will take the No.1 position in the list.
