91* vs Sri Lanka at Mumbai – 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup final

This innings will be always on top among MS Dhoni’s entire career knocks. It was the final of 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup where India was chasing down the 275-run target. After a shaky start as both the openers were dismissed at the early stages, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli controlled that innings with an 83-run partnership for the third wicket. After Kohli was dismissed, India still needed 161 runs to win that game and the Indian skipper MS Dhoni came to bat at that pressure stage while he was not in a good form in that entire tournament.

While Gambhir played the vital role to set the team in the strong position, Dhoni played the other role to make that stronger and later guided the nation for the second Cricket World Cup victory. While Gambhir played the 97-run knock before getting bowled out, Dhoni remained not out on 91 off 79 balls and secured the victory in 48.2 overs with a sixer. India won that game by six wickets as they lost four wickets in that game.
