MS Dhoni achieved a lot of records in his vast international career with his batting, wicketkeeping, and captaincy. In 2010, India won their Asia Cup title after a long gap of 15 years under his leadership. The former India skipper is also the most successful wicketkeeper in the Asia Cup, along with Sri Lanka’s former skipper Kumara Sangakkara, with 36 dismissals in just 19 matches.
Discussing his batting records, the veteran scored 648 runs with a ton and three half-centuries in 16 innings. In the 2008 Asia Cup, the Men in Blue failed to clinch the title with their humiliating 100-run defeat against Sri Lanka in the final but Dhoni, who was playing the continental tournament for the first time, scored 327 runs in five innings at an average of 109.00
When India won their fifth Asia Cup title in 2010, Dhoni scored 173 runs with a half-century in four games. In the high-voltage game against arch-rivals Pakistan, India got an intriguing three-wicket win in the last over, and Dhoni also delivered an important knock of 56 off 71.
