Pakistan: washed away by Dhoni!

On April 5, during the second match of the six-match ODI series against Pakistan at Visakhapatnam, India’s Mahendra Singh Dhoni smashed a brilliant 148 off 123 balls to help his in posting a mammoth total of 356 runs in the allotted 50-overs. It thus provided the 32nd instance of a wicketkeeper scoring a century in an ODI innings. Interestingly, Dhoni became only the second Indian wicketkeeper, after Rahul Dravid, to post a one-day international century. He surpassed the previous best of 145 by Dravid as the highest score by an Indian keeper in the shorter version of the game. Dhoni’s blitzkrieg innings is also the second highest individual score by any wicketkeeper in all ODIs after Australia’s Adam Gilchrist’s 172.
