#3 Fastest player to attain No.1 position in ICC ODI rankings
MS Dhoni’s rise in Indian cricket was quick as he grew up to become the captain in just 3 years. Breaking into the scene in 2004, he was out for nought in his debut match but from then on he hardly looked back as he constantly accumulated runs which propelled him up the rankings.
183* against Sri Lanka in 2005, 148 against Pakistan in 2005 are some of the best innings where he won the match for the team and also groomed himself up. At the end of 42 innings, MS Dhoni had already reached the top spot in ODI batsmen rankings, thus becoming the fastest player to do so.
The record has been with MS Dhoni and looks to remain with him forever as none of the other players have been able to break it since then. With the competition being immense, its really doubtful if any other player will be able to break this record.
