MS Dhoni today became the fourth Indian to reach the milestone of 10,000 runs in ODIs during the second match of the three-game series against England here today.
The 37-year-old former India skipper joined an elite list which features some of India's greatest batsmen in Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid.
Overall, he was the fifth fastest to get to 10,000 ODI runs after Tendulkar (259 innings), Ganguly (263 innings), Ricky Ponting (266 innings) and Jacque Kallis (272 innings).
Dhoni needed just 33 runs to achieve the milestone and he did it with a single in the 43rd over of the second ODI between India and England at the iconic Lord's Stadium.
Dhoni is currently placed 12th in the list of all-time highest run-getters in ODIs.
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara is the only wicketkeeper-batsman to feature in the list with 14,234 runs to his name. He is the second highest run-getter in the ODIs, behind only the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
Earlier in the day the former Indian Captain Dhoni finished a successful catch of England’s Jos Buttler, he marked his 300th catch in the 50-over format.
The record of the most number of catches taken in the ODIs is with former Australian keeper Adam Gilchrist with 417 catches in 287 ODIs. The second on the list is South Africa’s Mark Boucher with with 403 catches ahead of Kumar Sangakkara (402).
The keeper after Dhoni is former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum with 262 catches.
In the third Twenty20 International (T20I) between the same teams, last week, Dhoni had become the first-ever wicketkeeper to claim five catches in a single T20I game.
