Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is considered one of the most successful captains in Indian cricket history. Under the leadership of Dhoni, the Men in Blue won the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy. Not only his leadership skills, Dhoni was also one of the most consistent performers with the bat during his playing days and has broken several records in the international arena.

However, there are a few records that were left from Dhoni&#8217;s grasp before the wicketkeeper-batter decided to retire from international cricket in August 2020. In this article, we will talk about three records that MS Dhoni could not break in the international arena. Let us begin:

3. Most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in ODI

Dhoni is known to have the safest pair of hands behind the wickets. During his international career, Dhoni inflicted several quick stumpings and grabbed some excellent catches behind the wicket. In ODI cricket, Dhoni finished with 444 dismissals in 345 innings.

Dhoni comes third in the list of most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in ODI cricket behind two other veteran players including Adam Gilchrist who has 472 dismissals and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/he-carried-ipad-to-every-team-meeting-took-notes-kumar-sangakkara-on-daryl-mitchells-consistent-hard-work/">Kumar Sangakkara </a>with 482 dismissals. In his 444 dismissals, Dhoni took 321 catches and inflicted 123 stumpings.

Even after retirement, Dhoni&#8217;s agility and flexibility have remained the same as can be seen during the Indian Premier League (IPL) when the veteran player is keeping the wickets for his franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Despite being regarded as one of the best finishers in the white-ball format, Dhoni had a decent run with the bat in the Test format too. The 41-year-old played his debut Test match in December 2005 against Sri Lanka and took retirement from the longest format of the game in 2014 after playing his last game against Australia.

Talking about his numbers in the Test format, the right-handed batter represented India in 90 matches and scored 4876 runs at a decent average of 38.09. He also had 33 fifties, six centuries, and one double-hundred as well with his highest score being 224 runs against Australia.

He also missed the milestone of playing 100 Test matches by just 10 games.

Talking about Dhoni&#8217;s numbers in Test cricket as captain, the right-handed batter played 60 Test matches and amassed 3454 runs at an average of 40.64 with five centuries and 24 fifties.
