During the 2019 World Cup semi-final at Old Trafford, MS Dhoni left a delivery from New Zealand bowler Lockie Ferguson. India needed 52 runs from 31 balls at that time. Ferguson said he was surprised because bowlers want batters to play risky shots, but Dhoni left the ball calmly. In the next over, Dhoni hit a six off Ferguson. Despite Dhoni's efforts, New Zealand won the match by 18 runs and reached the final. This match was Dhoni's last ODI. The leave moment became very popular on social media and is still talked about today. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 10:37 IST; source: link)
