The International Cricket Council (ICC) posted a compilation of former India captain MS Dhoni's brilliant decisions on the occasion of his 40th birthday. India has won three major ICC events under the captaincy of Dhoni.

The video included Dhoni's decision to bowl Joginder Sharma in the final over against Pakistan in the 2007 T20 World Cup final, his call to bat above Yuvraj Singh in the 2011 World Cup final, a few interesting field placements, and bowling changes.

Dhoni had removed his wicket-keeping glove from one hand on the last ball against Bangladesh in the 2016 T20 World Cup. The opposition needed two runs off the final ball and Dhoni had sprinted towards the stumps to run the batsman out. India won the match by 1 run in a nail-biting finish.

Fans might have forgotten a few interesting calls by Dhoni in the World Cup, and ICC recalled them in their video. The wickets of Australia's Glenn Maxwell and UAE batsman Khurram Khan during the 2015 World Cup are a few examples.

"There’s a reason they call him Captain Cool ???? On his birthday, relive some of MS Dhoni’s greatest calls as @BCCI skipper ????‍✈," posted ICC.
