MS Dhoni turned 42 on Friday. The legend known for his leadership qualities, last-ball match-winning sixes and brisk wicket-keeping skills has won India all three major ICC white-ball trophies. Indian cricket’s talisman is one of the most successful captains in the history of cricket. With an average of 50.57 in 350 ODIs, one-day cricket remains to be Captain Cool’s strongest format. He scored his career best of 183* against Sri Lanka, the highest ever by a wicketkeeper in an ODI game. He scored 10 centuries and 73 fifties and is India’s fifth-highest run scorer in ODIs. Batting down the order through most of his career and still pulling off 10,000-plus runs only adds to the stature of India’s last World cup winning captain. India’s most successful ODI captain has led India to 200 matches with a winning percentage of 55. Five matches were tied while 11 failed to produce a result. It was under MS Dhoni’s leadership that India ended the 28-year-long draught of a 50-over World Cup trophy, winning it in 2011. With 229 sixes, he is the fifth-highest six-hitter of all time and also has the second-highest sixes by an Indian next to Rohit Sharma (275 sixes). He is also the sixth-fastest player to reach 10,000 ODI runs in 273 innings.
