MS Dhoni returned to the captaincy against Afghanistan

Arguably the best moment of Asia Cup 2018 was when former Indian captain MS Dhoni captained the side and became only the third player in the world to captain in 200 ODIs after Ricky Ponting and Stephen Fleming.

It was against Afghanistan in the last match of the Super 4 for India. Indian team decided to test its bench strength by resting Rohit, Shikhar, Bhuvi, Bumrah and Chahal. This meant that MS Dhoni was left to captain the side after nearly after two years. Dhoni gave up his captaincy after the home series against New Zealand in 2016 and since then Kohli has been the captain in all the three formats.

Dhoni was stranded on 199 ODIs as captain and by donning the hat one last time against Afghanistan completed 200 ODIs as a captain. The moment was shocking, surprising and even joyful for the Dhoni fans out there who got to see their hero donning the captain's hat once again.
