5 times when MS Dhoni made wrong decisions in his international career

4) MS Dhoni’s Collision with Mustafizur Rahman

The No.7 jersey is not only respected for its tag of World Cup-winning captain but there are qualities like fair play and discipline which separates MS Dhoni from the rest. In his 15-year long career, there are several occasions when he has set the right example for his fellow teammates. He has often won the hearts of millions of fans with his sporting gestures on the field.

Having said that Dhoni has his share of brain-fade moments which has somewhat stained his gentleman character. The most notable one being the collision incident involving him and the Bangladesh pacer, Mustafizur Rahman. At first, it seemed a normal accident with two players colliding with each other due to ball watching. However, having a close look at the replays will change the perception as both the individuals contributed to the mishap.

Especially the Indian captain looked guilty with his actions. It appeared as if he purposefully ran into Mustafizur and shoved him with his forearm. Dhoni might have tried to teach him a lesson as the pacer did the same mistake of walking into Rohit Sharma‘s line of running earlier in the game. As expected at the end of the game both the players were charged by ICC. Due to his stature and a clean sheet, Dhoni escaped harsh punishments. He should have avoided such circumstances as he is a cricketer who is followed by millions.
