Stats: Top 10 Indian batsmen with most sixes in ODIs

What followed his much-publicized captaincy conceding were some terrific batting displays from MS Dhoni. The former Indian skipper went ahead and smashed the ball to all parts as he went ahead and smashed his 200th six straight over the mid-wicket fence. Moreover, there was also some solace in the six as it could have gone much more than the 100 odd meters that it did as it simply smashed the hoarding and made its way back into the crowds.

While MS Dhoni was able to accomplish this incredible feat, there was also some solace in the manner in which he played. In spite of being rather below par in the initial stages of the encounter, it was quite clear that the finishing instinct would certainly make a comeback as there would be an impressive close to the innings as well.

Moreover, there were a few records broken when it came to the partnership he forged with Yuvraj Singh. The duo added upwards of 240 runs for the fourth wicket and rolled back the years as they did as well. This also saw Yuvraj Singh net his first century in almost six years, something that saw the Indians go ahead and rack up the runs in the first innings.

While there were 381 runs in the game as well, it was quite clear that the manner in which Dhoni batted had a massive part of proceedings as well. As far as the sixes are concerned, Dhoni went ahead and smashed the ball many a mile ensuring that he now has over 200 sixes, the only Indian on the list as well.
