MS Dhoni completes 4000 ODI runs in India; completes yet another milestone

Former India skipper MS Dhoni has crossed the threshold of completing 4000 runs in India following impressive innings against England in the second One-Day international played in the OCA in Cuttack. At 4000 and odd runs, Dhoni is only second to Indian great Sachin Tendulkar whose run record seems to be a bridge too far.

At the moment, it would only seem as though the likes of Virat Kohli and Alastair Cook are the only ones who could have somewhat of an outside chance of eclipsing the great man’s record. However, despite all of this, the 35-year old MS Dhoni’s record is something that one and all are certainly pleased with including the fact that he has played almost half the number of ODIs played by Sachin Tendulkar.

With 9,116 runs in 284* ODIs, Dhoni is the fifth highest run-getter for India in ODIs. Tendulkar (18,426 runs), Sourav Ganguly (11,221), Dravid (10,768), Mohammad Azharuddin (9378) are the ones above Dhoni.
