Former India skipper MS Dhoni is on the verge of another incredible milestone as he is pretty close to cross the milestone of 10,000 ODI runs.
Dhoni needs just 109 more runs to reach the milestone of ten thousand ODI runs. He will become the 4th Indian batsman to reach this milestone after Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Rahul Dravid.
He also has the 4th most ODI runs by an Indian batsman in 2017.
- Virat Kohli – 1460
- RG Sharma – 1078
- S Dhawan – 792
- MS Dhoni – 781
Dhoni has got the 4th best ODI batting average of all time (minimum 3000 ODI runs).
- 55.74 – Virat Kohli
- 54.06 – AB de Villiers
- 53.58 – MG Bevan
- 51.78 – MS Dhoni.
Sri Lanka is one of most favorite nations for MS when it comes to scoring runs. He has a batting average of 131 against Sri Lanka in his last 8 ODI innings and has scored 4 half centuries in those innings.
At Mohali, Dhoni has the 2nd most ODI run-scorer. He needs 11 more runs in this match, to overtake Tendulkar. He averages 59.33 and has a strike rate of 92.46 at Mohali.
After witnessing a humiliating loss in teh series opener, a wounded Team India would look to make a strong comeback against Sri Lanka in a do-or-die second ODI on Wednesday. The loss not only hurt but was also an eye-opener for a team that has been dominant all throughout the long home season.
