occasions which involved two different formats. He led a young Indian team to the first ever T20
World Cup victory in South Africa in 2007. Dhoni then led India to their second ODI World Cup
victory in 2011. He was also awarded man of the match in the finals against Sri Lanka for his score
of 91 not out. The bat which was used by Dhoni in the final match was auctioned for a whopping ₹
72 Lac. The entire sum of money went to Sakshi Rawat Foundation which was operated by Dhoni's
wife Sakshi Rawat to help orphan children.
