5 Most daring decisions taken in Indian cricket which paid off

#5 MS Dhoni promoting himself to number 5 position in 2011 World Cup final

On the big day, when the occasion demanded it, MS Dhoni rose to it and how

Up until the 2011 World Cup final, there had been quite a few brilliant performances by captains in the finale. An Indian was to add himself to that list on the 2nd of April, that year.

Heading into the last game against Sri Lanka, Dhoni's highest score in the event had been a mere 34 and so, one hoped he didn't have to do a lot to help India win the crown.

But Dhoni thought unlike others, and on the big day, pushed himself to the number 5 position ahead of the in-form player Yuvraj Singh and made an unbeaten 91 to take India home and help lift their second World Cup title.
