BCCI Retired MS Dhoni Number 7 Jersey: Greatest Captain Ever
Dhoni is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, captains India have ever had. His calm demeanor under pressure has given him the nickname ‘Captain Cool’. In fact, this ability to keep calm in crucial moments might be the reason why his key decisions have led the country to clinch three major international trophies (ICC T20I World Cup 2007, the ICC World Cup 2011, and the 2011 Champions Trophy).
MS Dhoni’s Career Stats
Dhoni accumulated 10,773 runs at an impressive average of 50.57 across 350 ODIs for India, including 10 centuries and 73 half-centuries. In T20 internationals, he notched up 1617 runs in 98 matches, boasting an average of 37.60 and a striking rate of 126.13. His Test career saw him amass 4876 runs in 97 matches, comprising six centuries and 33 fifties, along with 294 dismissals as a wicketkeeper.
