#3 Captain fearless

In 2012, the Indian side was touring Australia for a Test series. On the second day of the second Test match, pacer Ishant Sharma was struggling with his line and length, bowling short and wide. Dhoni went up to Ishant and said, "Agar chauka gaya toh mera risk hai, tu bindaas daal. Tujhe agar ek fielder aur chahiye toh main bula lunga. Mujhe koi problem nahi hai."(It's on me if the ball gets hit for a boundary, you just bowl. I'll place another fielder too if you want).
Notably, Ishant Sharma picked up three wickets in the innings, owing his success to the skipper. The seamer started bowling good length deliveries around off stump which helped him rattle the Australians.
