15 of MS Dhoni – Recalling his five best ODI knocks of all time 

#3 44 not out against Australia, 2012

This still remains one of Dhoni's most calculated innings in a run-chase

This was the fourth match of the Commonwealth Bank series played in 2012. India were set a target of 270 by Australia in Adelaide and the match went down to the wire. In what was a slow paced innings, MS made an unbeaten 44 off 58 which saw only one boundary, a six that came off the final over. Yet, this remains one of his best ODI knocks because it was a very calculated innings played cleverly. Gautam Gambhir anchored India’s innings till 178-4 and then all eyes were on Dhoni, who, despite his slow strike rate, finished the chase with two balls to spare.

India needed 12 off four, when a boundary-less MS hit a huge six over long-on off Clint McKay's bowling. This was a much needed win for India after they lost to Australia in the first match.

While Dhoni has essentially been known as a great finisher, not many talk about how he finished the innings – which was not always by going for the big shots.
