2016: India v Bangladesh, Bengaluru

It was arguably the greatest race between a batter and a wicket-keeper in internatio­nal cricket. With Bangladesh needing a run to tie the scores and force a Super Over, Mustafizur Rahman dashed off from the non-striking end to steal a bye, but he was outsprinte­d by M.S. Dhoni, who had already taken his right glove off in case he was required to throw. He ran with the ball, after Shuvagata Hom failed to connect Hardik Pandya, and knocked off the off-stump.
