Mahendra Singh Dhoni records 100th ODI win as Indian skipper
New Delhi: The maverick Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday added another feather on his cap of recording 100 ODI wins as skipper after leading India to a resounding victory against Bangladesh in the cricket World Cup quarter finals at the historic MCG.
Dhoni is the first non-Australian captain to achieve the feat — in his 178th ODI — as he got past South Africa’s Hansie Cronje, who won 99 ODIs for his side. Ricky Ponting, with 165 ODI wins as captain, and Allan Border (107) are the two Australian greats leading the chart in the 50-overs format.
After being appointed captain of a young limited-overs side back in 2007, Dhoni has attained great heights in international cricket, even taking India to the top of Test rankings.
The wicketkeeper-batsman has accumulated 8434 runs in 261 ODIs, averaging over 50, since making his ODI debut against Bangladesh in 2004.
