Ok, so all of you must be knowing of the Dhoni-Bell fiasco that happened on the 3rd day of 2nd test between India and England at Trent Bridge. For whose who don't, here is an account of what happened.
"It was the last ball before tea. Ian Bell ran the 3 runs , the umpire didn’t even signal the boundary, and Bell had started for the 4th run. The ball stopped just before the boundary, Praveen Kumar grabbed it and threw it back to Dhoni who took off the bails, and
applead to the umpire for run out. Bell was given out.
applead to the umpire for run out. Bell was given out.
The drama began later when the post-tea session began. Ian Bell was back to batting like normal. Turns out, the English captain Andrew Strauss went to Indian dressing room during the tea break and requested the Indian team to take back the run out appeal, for they believed that Bell had thought that the ball was dead and was not actually taking the 4th run, but was walking back to the dressing room."
Now, as we know, Dhoni initally was against taking back the appeal and it was our very own GOD, Sachin who convinced him in taking the appeal back, in the spirit of the game.
