Ranking MS Dhoni's 4 consecutive ODI half-centuries against Australia in early 2019

#2 Australia tour of India 2019 - 1st ODI - Hyderabad (59 runs off 72 balls)

India v Australia - ODI Series: Game 1

MS Dhoni notched up 59 runs from 72 balls with 6 fours and a six at a strike rate of 81.94 in the first ODI of Australia tour of India 2019 ending his string of consecutive half-centuries against them.

Hyderabad crowd saw the Chennai Super Kings captain as the finisher of the game. Alongside his CSK teammate Kedar Jadhav, MSD played a crucial role in finishing the game when India's top order failed.

Kedar benefited the most from MSD by his side. He scored 81 runs from 87 balls with 9 fours and a six. If it wasn't for their 141 run-partnership India would have lost that match. Both of them stood strong in the end without giving away their wickets.

The fighting knock of MS Dhoni in such a pressure situation gets the number two spot in the consecutive half centuries of MS Dhoni.
