MS Dhoni scored a impressive 92* to rescue India against South Africa in second ODI in Indore on Wednesday.

Dhoni, coming to bat in the 13th over, saw India slump to 124/6 before he was joined by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Both scored crucial runs with Dhoni playing thinking cricket. After Bhuvneshwar was dismissed, Dhoni continued scoring runs with Harbhajan Singh.

Classy knock from @msdhoni in adversity, India have something to defend now, but will miss @ashwinravi99 #IndvsSA

Dhoni the batsman comes good today. But may still not be good enough for Dhoni the captain. Not enough on the board. Over to you, bowlers.

Whether Dhoni has given India a fighting chance or not remains to be seen, but he has certainly shut up his critics

Only Dhoni likes taking matches to the last over in both 1st & 2nd innings.
