4. 45* against Sri Lanka in 2013, Port of Spain:
Chasing a very achievable 202 for victory, India seemed in total control as they reached 3-139 in the 32nd over. But the dismissal of Rohit Sharma to crafty left-arm spinner Rangana Herath sparked a middle-order collapse that left India reeling at 9-182.
Needing 15 from the last over and with just No.11 Ishant Sharma for company, Dhoni was on strike and not all hope was lost. After all, he was at the peak of his career and already tagged as the best finisher of the game.
And ‘Captain Cool’ delivered, hitting the second ball of the over for six, the next ball for four and he finished the game in style by hitting the fourth ball for another six, igniting boisterous celebrations in the Indian dressing room.
