Dubai: The International Cricket Council (ICC) conferred the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award of the Decade on MS Dhoni for his gesture of calling back England batsman Ian Bell after a bizarre run out in the Nottingham Test in 2011.
Dhoni's gesture won him the Spirit of the Cricket Award in 2011 and now it has been established as one of the most heartening gestures on the field in the last 10 years.
Earlier on Sunday Dhoni has been named as the skipper of the ICC ODI Team of the Decade.
