The one thing that did not change was Dhoni’s habit of finishing a match with a six. This came to the fore even more so, when Dhoni finished the 2011 ICC World Cup Final with a six.

Dhoni has this uncanny ability of dragging a chase to the last over. This habit might force viewers to watch with bated breath and thumping heart and chew their nails out. But, as everyone knows Dhoni can always change/win the game with a six.
