 Indian captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, won the Spirit of Cricket Award at a glittering ICC Awards function on Monday. Iconic batsman Sachin Tendulkar missed out the Cricketer of the Year honour.
Dhoni was chosen for the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award for his fine gesture of recalling Ian Bell after the England batsman was run out under controversial circumstances during the second Test at Trent Bridge in July. Dhoni turned out to be the lone Indian to win an ICC award this year. Despite being wrapped up in an intense and difficult Test series in England, Dhoni showed the right spirit in agreeing to allow Bell to continue batting when he was run out.
