Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a silent achiever. He prefers staying away from the limelight. He lets his team celebrate victories while he just stands in the background with a big smile on his face. Dhoni has been the face of Indian cricket since he took the charge as Indian captain. He has won almost every trophy that a captain can wish for. Dhoni is the greatest wicket-keeper batsman India has ever produced. He arguably the greatest ever finisher in ODI cricket. And the list goes on and on and on…
When we talk about MS Dhoni, there are so many things that surround our mind. His captaincy, his batting, his calmness, his trophies and his records. In this post, The Cricket Lounge’s Vaibhav Sharma lists some of MS Dhoni’s batting records.
1) MS Dhoni is the only captain to score a century while batting at number 7 in ODIs.
