In late 2004, wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni, from Jharkhand rushed into the Indian team only to be run out without scoring on his debut but went on to become one of the best ever to grace the game. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-dedicates-a-special-video-to-ms-dhoni-on-his-birthday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">At the age of 37</a>, he is absolutely fit, remains one of the quickest runners between wickets and has already bagged all the major trophies. Dhoni’s role in cricket can be called a perfect all-round effort as he created records with his batting, captaincy as well as keeping.

Some of the interesting records held by MS Dhoni in International cricket:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virender-sehwag-slams-a-fan-on-his-remarks-against-ms-dhoni/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> has achieved a rare feat of leading his team to glory in all the three major ICC events &#8211; his team won the World T20 title (in 2007), the ODI World Cup (in 2011) and the Champions Trophy (in 2013). Thus, he became the first and only captain till date to will all these three major ICC tournaments.

He is also the only captain till date to lead his team in 50+ matches in each of the three International formats. Dhoni led India in 60 Test matches, 199 ODI matches and 72 T20I games. His 331 International caps and 72 T20I caps as a captain are the most for any player.

Many great captains have toured Australia and failed to add victories in the longer format under their belt. MS Dhoni wasn’t any different as India lost four of the five Test matches under his captaincy that they played down under. However, he didn’t let the Aussies take anything under his regime whenever they toured India. He was one of the reasons why Australia failed to win a Test in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> between 2004 and 2017. Dhoni led India in eight of the ten Tests Australia played in India between 2008 and 2013.

Anil Kumble was the skipper in the two drawn Tests in 2008 that also were his final two matches in International cricket. India won the remaining two Tests in that series to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-0. Later in 2010, India won the 2-match Test series by 2-0 and the 4-match series in 2013 by 4-0. The eight matches are the most any captain has led an opponent at home with a 100% win record in Test cricket. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/michael-vaughan-roasted-twitter-tweet-indian-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Vaughan</a> has 100% win record against Windies in the seven home Tests.

Scoring centuries while batting lower down the order is a tough task for any player in limited-overs cricket but MS Dhoni has scored hundreds while batting at as low as No.7 not once but twice. Till date, as many as 16 players including Dhoni have scored an ODI ton while batting at No.7 but he is the only one to do that twice. He scored an unbeaten 139 for Asia XI in 2007 after coming to the crease when they were 72/5 in the 17th over.

Dhoni shared a 218-run stand for the 6th wicket along with Mahela Jayawardene as his team ended up scoring 331/8. Five years later, he walked out to bat when his side was half down for 29 runs in the 10th over against Pakistan. He went on to score an unbeaten 113 to help India finish on a respectable total of 227/6. Interestingly, he got both these tons batting at No.7 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Dhoni’s career started as a keeper who went on to break records with his batting and also his captaincy skills. In between, the keeper cum batsman cum captain decided to roll his arms and bowled medium pace. He was successful in opening his wickets account in the ODI cricket but was denied the same in Test cricket due to the review system. Dhoni is the only Indian to bag a wicket in ODI format while playing as a keeper till date.

Till date in International cricket, only two keeper-captains have added a wicket to their names. Zimbabwe’s Tatenda Taibu achieved this feat both in Tests and ODIs. Dhoni is one of the five players in the International cricket to score a run, take a wicket, take a catch and effect a stumping while leading the team. Taibu and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/faf-du-plessis-surprised-reporters-not-asking-questions-ab-de-villiers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB de Villiers</a> achieved the feat in ODIs while New Zealanders John Reid and Brendon McCullum also achieved in Tests and across the three formats respectively.

MS Dhoni is well known for finishing off the chases with sixes as he achieved this feat on as many as nine occasions in ODI cricket. In the recorded history of the ODI cricket, no other player has finished a successful run-chase in this format on more than five instances. Two of the nine instances, where Dhoni finished chases with six, were in the tournament finals. He struck Nuwan Kulasekara for a six in the penultimate over of the 2011 World Cup.

He repeated it the 2013 Triangular Series Final when they needed 15 runs in the final over bowled by Shaminda Eranga. There are only four instances when a captain completed successful chases with sixes in a tournament final till date with Dhoni recording two of those. Sanath Jayasuriya in 1999 and Upul Tharanga in 2016 are the other two.

In the recorded history of the ODI cricket, no other player has finished a successful run-chase in this format on more than five instances. Two of the nine instances, where Dhoni finished chases with six, were in the tournament finals. He struck Nuwan Kulasekara for a six in the penultimate over of the 2011 World Cup.
He repeated it the 2013 Triangular Series Final when they needed 15 runs in the final over bowled by Shaminda Eranga. There are only four instances when a captain completed successful chases with sixes in a tournament final till date with Dhoni recording two of those. Sanath Jayasuriya in 1999 and Upul Tharanga in 2016 are the other two.
