MS Dhoni has won the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award of the decade following a fan vote for his decision to recall Ian Bell after a controversial run out in the Nottingham Test.

The incident happened on the third day with the final ball of the afternoon session, Bell was run out for 137, following the misconception that the ball had reached the rope and went for four, Abhinav Mukund broke the stump, While Bale wandered off to talk to his batting partner Eoin Morgan. During the tea break, the Indian team, led by captain Dhoni, decided to withdraw the appeal, as explained by batsman Rahul Dravid. There was a team discussion during the tea break, Dhoni and Fletcher called a meeting and Dhoni led it. There was a unanimous feeling that we should reinstate Bale, because the spirit of the game was of utmost importance, and to dismiss him like this would be a violation of the spirit of the game. " Bell heard shortly before the start that he could continue his innings, adding 22 more runs before being caught at slip.

After the game, Bell said: "I didn't know until the last minute that I would go out again after all the way it's handled is the spirit of a game."
