3. The only Asian captain to win to the man of the match in the World Cup final

We often talk about big match players in cricket who raise their game when the team needed them the most. MS Dhoni was that one batsman on whom the team banked on during high-pressure matches. The World Cup final it just doesn’t get any bigger than that. At the Wankhade Stadium in 2011, the Indian captain produced magical innings of 91* that helped India won the world cup after 28 years.

MS Dhoni for his match-winning innings was awarded the man of the match award thus became the only Asian captain to do so in a world cup final. Overall Dhoni, Ricky Ponting and Clive Llyod are the only 3 captains to achieve this incredible and rare feat.
