From walloping an epic World Cup-winning six to winning the ICC treble, MS Dhoni has single-handedly produced innumerable iconic moments in the history of Indian cricket. But one moment that certainly stands out from the rest is India’s T20 World Cup victory against Bangladesh in 2016.
Once again, it was Dhoni who scripted a spectacular run out to earn a victory for Team India in the nail-biting encounter. Dhoni’s prompt glovework got etched in the memories of billions of Indian cricket fans as the Men in Blue recorded one of the most remarkable wins in the history of the game.
As the Indian cricket team celebrates their seventh anniversary of the sensational victory today, the footage of Dhoni’s astonishing run-out seems to have resurfaced once again on social media.

MS Dhoni’s sensational glovework sent Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim back to the dressing room for a duck. The Indian skipper’s presence of mind helped India to stay alive in the 2016 T20 World Cup.
Batting first in the match, India posted a decent total of 146/7. Suresh Raina emerged as India’s highest scorer with 30. Bangladesh, in response, managed to reach 145/9 in 20 overs. Team India, however, eventually crashed out of the 2016 T20 World Cup in the semi-final after conceding a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of eventual champions West Indies.
