Dhoni completed 10,000 ODI runs and 300 ODI catches to complete a rare feat in ODI cricket. He will certainly leave the game as one of the tallest figures.
India were in a tough situation when MS Dhoni entered at the Lord’s India were chasing a 300 + total and the pitch was gradually slowing up. It would not be easy for him to score freely. India had lost the wickets of openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma early.
This was followed by the wickets of Virat Kohlia and suresh Raina as India were left tottering. Although lost the match by 86 runs, Dhoni’s heroics certainly gave the fans a reason to cheer.
Should have bought a circus ticket, my friend… if you are just looking for entertainment. This is sport. Teams win. Teams lose. Am not sure you would have complained if India had won and Dhoni scored 37 off 59…
p.s – it indeed was a one-day match which England will win/won. https://t.co/SklHr7VLco

MS Dhoni’s achievement of 10,000 ODI runs is unique one.
He has scored more than 75% of his runs batting at No. 5 and below.
None of the other members in the 10000-club scored even 30% of their runs batting lower down the order.
Legend like none other!

This is a Dhoni masterclass in how not to chase. Yes, everyone else has failed, but there are no draws in ODI cricket, so he might as well have tried #ENGvIND

An elite club and Dhoni is only the second WK, the fourth Indian and the fifth fastest to reach there, all that by batting at 5 and below most of his career.
He’ll be hated for this inns here but the milestone still needs to be celebrated.
Super proud of this man! ❤ pic.twitter.com/Hqp7dedjwl

having worked out that India weren’t going to win this, Dhoni made the smart choice to get some time in the middle ahead of the Tests
oh wait….#ENGvIND
