David Warner congratulate MS Dhoni on 10,000 runs mark.

The former skipper of Team India became the 4th player to join the Elite Club. On Saturday, MS Dhoni added another feather to his exemplary cap. He became fourth Indian and 12th overall in One-day International history to score 10,000 runs.

How it happened.

During the second ODI Which was played on Saturday, Dhoni scored 37 off 59 balls. Before the ODI series, he was only requiring 33 runs to become the fourth player added to be in the Elite club. As India won quite convincingly in the first ODI, Dhoni didn’t get time to showcase his skills.
As India was struggling in the second ODI, Dhoni got the chance to join the crease. He tried to steady Indian ship but unfortunately, he did not get any support from the rest of the team.
The 36-year-old reached the milestone at Lord’s when he scored 33 runs off 47 balls.

The Elite Club.

Dhoni has joined the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Kumar Sangakkara, Brian Lara and Sanath Jayasuriya on the elite list.

Milestones by Dhoni.

• MS Dhoni is the third oldest to complete 10,000 runs mark.
• Dhoni is only the second wicketkeeper-batsman to touch the 10000-run mark.
• He got 75% plus runs in batting lower down the order whereas the rest got sane figures by playing in the upper order.
• He is the second quickest to achieve the milestone just behind the Sanath Jayasuriya who took slightly fewer balls than Dhoni.
• He is the first batsman to score 10,000 runs with an average of 50 plus.
• He also completed his 300 catches and became the fourth Wicket-keeper to do so after Sanga, Gilchrist and Mark Boucher.
• In the same series, Dhoni completed his 500th International match for Team India.
