Come here let's have some fun...
Dhoni's contributions in the ICC events that went unnoticed. {A Thread}
Stupidity at its peak 😭😭🤣😷
2007 T20 World Cup:

Match-1 IND PAK: batting first
•Situation when MS came: 36/4 at 7 overs and rest players being tailenders
•He got out at 33(31) at over 19.1

Match-2 IND NZ: chasing 191
•His score 24(20) run out bcoz of Dinesh
IND lost: No MS to finish the match
Match-3 IND ENG: batting first
•MS score: 10*(8) and there was nothing to play after Yuvraj's 6 sixers..

Match-4 IND SA: batting first
•MS score: 45(33) and got run out and missed a well deserved 50 and MOTM but Roshit Sharma stole it with a six to reach 50(40) in last ball
Match-5 IND AUS Semis: batting first
•MSD score: 36(18) and got run out once again

Match-6 IND PAK Finals: batting first
•a middle order collapse
•No. 3 Robin=8(11),No. 4 Yuvraj=14(19),No.5 MSD=6(10)
Overall, second highest run scorer for IND in this tournament. More than tht, his captaincy was top-notch which overshadowed his entire batting show.

Successfully defended 5 out of 6 matches with mediocre bowlers including knockouts; many wer low scores like 141, 153, 157.
2011 World Cup:

had a bad group stage with bat but he could have bashed those minnows but badly he didn't

despite tht he undid those poor performances by performing in crucial moment at the Final🔥🔥
IND vs NED: MSD 19*(40) while chasing 190

Just read the screenshot of the commentary👇
Selfless player for a reason🛐: he never intended to hit big and wanted his teammate get some records and matches like these affected his SR
If Dhoni hadn't promoted himself ahead of Yuvraj, Muralidaran would have got Yuvraj... And IND would have missed another WC.

Moreover FYI, Dhoni just did not hit a single six in that final he played a good captain's knock of 91*(79) while top order collapsed.
CT 2013:
With a group of youngsters without big names, he did lead them very good as a captain. Made Rohit the opener as he was struggling to bat outside powerplays.
In terms of batting, he played a decent knock of 27(26) in first inns of first match vs SA and never got to bat in next 3 chases..
It would be really tough in English conditions to come back again in high-pressure final (when few quick back-back wickets fell and boundary drought for 2 overs in a reduced 20 over game) without playing most of the previous inns and perform.
But his works from behind the stump and captaincy moves won us the CT trophy...🔥🔥
Stumpings of 2 main players
Brave move of bringin in Ishant sharma despite him being expensive (as he knew last 2 overs were powerplay and spinners can contain runs so Ishant won't be good in powerplay)
ICT without MSD would have been PCT 🤡
Haters keep barking,but the fact that he contributed 100% along wid rest of the team to win those trophies.

If you had watched those tournaments in live, you would have sensed his presence as a captain in every game throughout the inns 🛐🔥
