MS Dhoni Sets a World Record by a WICKETKEPER BATER: No wicketkeeper could touch Dhoni’s Maharikord for 20 years

New Delhi. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s name is recorded to play the biggest innings as a wicketkeeper in ODI International cricket. This world record of Mahi has not been able to break any wicketkeeper batsman in the world for the last 2 decades. It is difficult to break this record even in the near future. Dhoni played this unmatched innings against Sri Lanka in 2005. Mahi opened the threads of the Sri Lankan bowlers at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. He scored an unbeaten 183 off 145 balls, including 15 fours and 10 sixes. South Africa’s Quinton de Kock and Australia’s Adam Gilchrist also could not reach Mahi’s Maharikord in world cricket.

On the basis of this record innings of Dhoni (Dhoni), India had achieved the target of 299 runs with 23 balls remaining. After falling the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar, Dhoni, who came to bat at number three, started a virtue and intensified the innings. With this innings, Dhoni set a record for the highest personal score by the wicketkeeper batsman in ODIs. At that time Mahi broke Adam Gilchrist’s record, who scored 172 runs in January 2004 with 13 fours and three sixes against Zimbabwe against Zimbabwe at Hobart, Hobart.
