5 instances when Indian athletes stood out for their incredible acts of sportsmanship

#4 MS Dhoni: Captain cool and captain kind

Captain cool shows why he is one of the nicest guys in the game

Several South African players suffered cramps in the 2015-16 series against India and Faf du Plessis went through the same as he approached his hundred in the Wankhede ODI. He hobbled through a major part of his innings but the pain did not disappear. As du Plessis attempted a slog, he fell over and pulled his hamstring.

MS Dhoni, who was also the South African's captain in the Chennai Super Kings, could see he needed help stretching. He was the first one to volunteer and did not wait for the physios or South African teammates. He held Faf's legs in the air to stretch the muscle while the South African medical staff arrived in a few minutes.

MS Dhoni proved by this gesture why Cricket is known as the gentleman's game and he is a lot more than being just cool.
