Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni is celebrating his 42nd birthday today. The man who made the jersey number 7 special was born on 7/7/1981. He came from a small town but he achieved big in his life. Even at the age of 42, fans want him to continue playing, which shows how much love he receives.
One of the major reasons why fans love Dhoni so much is that he has achieved enormous success and yet he has been down to earth. In this listicle now, we will look at six world records of Dhoni which may never be broken.
1. MS Dhoni is the only player to win 3 ICC trophies as captain
Dhoni has led India to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, T20 World Cup 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy 2013 title wins. It is highly unlikely that any captain can replicate this achievement.
2. MS Dhoni won most consecutive knockout matches in ICC tournaments as captain
Dhoni owns the record for the most consecutive wins as a captain in ICC knockout matches, having won eight. No other captain has even won more than six.
3. Most times remaining not out in successful run-chases in ODIs
Remaining not-out in a successful run-chase is the target of every batter while batting in the second innings. Dhoni achieved this feat for a record 62 times in his ODI career.
4. Quickest stumpings in cricket
Dhoni is known for his lightning quick stumpings behind the stumps. He owns the record for the fastest stumpings in terms of seconds taken as he takes the bails quicker than the blink of an eye.
5. MS Dhoni has the most stumpings in international cricket
Speaking of stumpings, Dhoni also owns the record for the most stumpings by a wicketkeeper in international cricket history. He took the bails off 178 times when the batters were out of their crease.
6. Whitewash Australia in Australia
Australia are the most successful team in cricket history. The Aussies have been quite dominant in world cricket, especially in home conditions. However, in 2016, India whitewashed Australia 3-0 on Australia soil in a T20I series, becoming the only team in 140 years to whitewash the Aussies on their home soil.
