India's ODI XI in Virat Kohli's debut match: Where are they now?

#5 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni witnessed a slump in batting form in 2018

Former Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni has earned 332 ODI caps for the national team. He will soon surpass Mohammad Azharuddin (who has 334 caps) and become third on the list of Indian players who have played the most ODI matches.

Mahi is amongst the select few players who have scored over 10000 runs in ODIs. In the 332 matches Dhoni has played, he scored a total of 10173 runs with the average 50.11 and strike rate 87.89. However, MSD did not look his best in 2018 despite playing all the 20 ODI matches which India played.

Dhoni only scored 291 runs in the 13 innings he batted in in 2018. This does not take away the fact that he is still one of the best WK-batsman in the country. The veteran 37-year-old has witnessed a dip in form despite having an outstanding IPL in 2018.

Dhoni will soon be seen in the ODI series against Australia down under. He will then look to reignite his form and be seen leading Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.

We are all aware of his lightning-quick stumpings and potency behind the stumps. The big question remains if Dhoni will be able to reawaken and bring back his batting prowess before the World Cup in 2019?
