Cricketing profile
Mahendra Singh Dhoni started

1999-2000. His one day

cricket on the 23rd of December
2004 against Bangladesh. The
venue of the match was in
Chittagong, Bangladesh.

wasn’t on his side in the first four
matches he played. Where as on
the fifth match which was played
against Pakistan in
Visakhapatnam, Dhoni came to
the crease one down and
managed to score 148 runs from
just 123 balls. He hit 15
boundaries and four sixes. He
got his first man of the match
award that day. Not only a good
wicketkeeper but Dhoni proved
himself to be a first class
batsman too. He is one of the
few finest wicketkeeper batsman
India has seen after a very long
time.
On the 31st of October, Dhoni
broke the record of highest runs
scored by a wicket keeper by
securing 183 runs against
Srilanka which was played at
Jaipur. Adam Gilchrist was the

runs.
Before he started playing cricket,

of milk everyday but he denied it
by saying that has been

Dhoni made his Test cricket
debut against Srilanka which was
played in Chennai, India.
