7 records of MS Dhoni that are lesser known




MS Dhoni is undoubtedly one of the most popular and successful captain of the Indian Cricket Team. In a country like India where cricketers are considered to be almost equivalent to God, Dhoni is widely revered by the multitude. Popularly known as the ‘Captain Cool’ due to his composed persona, Dhoni has led the Indian team towards success through many matches. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, India have won the top prize in all formats: the No.1 Test ranking for 18 months starting December 2009, the 50-over World Cup in 2011 and the World Twenty20 on his captaincy debut in 2007. Eventually this resulted in him becoming more than a sportsman and rather a popular face in the media with thousands of brands endorsing him, including a fantasy cricket website. However, behind all these success and behind all his visible records there are also some unknown records that are not known by many.  

Here is the list of 7 lesser known records of MS Dhoni 
Dhoni hit his most centuries from his 7th batting position in the ODI’s 

From 278 matches, Dhoni is recorded to have scored a total 9 scores in his ODI career. However, what is interesting here is 2 of his centuries came from the matches where he was batting in the 7th position. Needless to mention, this nearly happens in any limited over matches where with 6 wickets being already lost the pressure surmounts to a level of the team losing the match. Dhoni being the calm-minded batsman has the reputation of giving the game a quick turn in favour of his team, and thus could successfully snatch a victory from a match where victory is impossible. The former Indian Captain has scored one ODI hundred while batting at number seven against Pakistan in 2012 while the other he scored for Asia XI against Africa XI in 2007.   
  
Dhoni as a Captain hit the most Sixes in International Cricket 

With 204 sixes in international cricket under his name Dhoni is one of the very few  captains who has hit so many sixes during his captaincy. Till date Dhoni has captained India in 324 international matches and scored 10,964 runs.  

He has most stumpings to his name 

Besides being known for his calm persona even under the pressure-ridden conditions Dhoni is also one of the quickest in the Indian Cricket Team. He is well reputed for his quickness behind the stumps as a wicket-keeper. He has claimed 160 stumping in 466 international matches, the most by any wicket-keep till date.
Dhoni’s score is the highest by any wicket-keeper batsman in an ODI Innings 

Dhoni exceeded the legendary batsman Adam Gilchrist by becoming the second highest run-getter as a wicket-keeper. MS Dhoni has scored 9608 runs of 299 matches at an average of 51.93.
Dhoni scored most runs even without scoring a 50 in the T20Is 
             
 MS Dhoni has managed to score 1069 runs in T20Is as captain of India in 70 matches, this is  the most scored by any captain in T20I history. He has the highest score of 48* which means he hasn’t scored a fifty in T20Is yet and therefore he has scored the most runs in T20Is without scoring a fifty.
Has won most T20I matches as captain 
   
       MS Dhoni has captained India in 70 T20I matches and out of which India has won 41 matches.  
  1. Played most matches in international cricket as a ‘wicket-keeping bowler’
