Top 5 bold decisions by MS Dhoni which paid off 

#1 Ishant Sharma’s spell in Champions trophy 2013:

CRICKET- CT2013-ENG-IND

Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Indian team were into the final of 2013 Champions Trophy. The game was reduced to a 20 over per innings and batting first, India posted a decent total of 129 on the board.

While the spinners contained the runs against Englishmen, the hosts smashed Ishant Sharma to reduce the required run rate. However, the skipper decided to handle the 18th over of the innings to Ishant Sharma.

The tall pacer, Ishant Sharma bowled a terrific over and dismissed both settled batsmen - Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara. This move by Dhoni helped him bowl his spinners in the last two overs. The spinners helped the Indian team to lift the Champions Trophy in 2013.
