Dhoni took over as the captain of India for the first time after a prolonged gap of 696 days, since stepping down in January 2017. He had last captained India in the ODI series against New Zealand.
Talking about the feat, MS said, “I was not really sure of where I am standing. I have captained 199 ODIs, so this gives me an opportunity to make it 200. It’s all destiny and I have always believed in that. It’s not in my control, once I left captainship. Good to complete 200, but I don’t think it really matters.”
