MS Dhoni with his sharp mind helped to clinch many crucial victories for India, known to make bold decisions while some were shocking but still led to victory for the team.
The big names were dropped during the 2008 tri-series in Australia for their fielding abilities, instead, they played with the young fielder and made the first-ever tri-series win in Australia.
After the wickets of Sehwag, Tendulkar and Kohli, Dhoni promoted himself to no 3 to manage a partnership with Gambhir as Left-Right combination to chase a total of 275 against Sri Lanka.
Making a decision of rotating this top-order trio in the CB series 2012/13 had an impact, though India ended up not being qualified but made a point of discussion for change in top order.
In 2013, Dhoni made a big change in the opening order by giving a try to Rohit where he succeeded and with a consistent top-order performance, India won the ICC Champions Trophy.
In the last crucial over, no one ever thought that the bowler would be Joginder Sharma in the presence of Harbhajan with 1 over left, the decision led to the trophy victory.
