Mahendra Singh Dhoni achieved yet another milestone on Wednesday. The 36-year-old effected his 400th ODI dismissal as a wicket-keeper during the third ODI between India and South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town.
Dhoni achieved the rare feat in chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav's first over when he stumped out Proteas skipper Aiden Markram.
MSD is the fourth man in the history of the game to have 400 victims in ODIs as a keeper. At the top of that list is Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara (482), with Australian Adam Gilchrist (472) coming in second, and South African Mark Boucher (424) at third position.
Twitter was jubilant as Dhoni bagged his record on Wednesday. The former India is a crowd favourite, which was reflected in the affectionate tweets by netizens.
Here are some tweets
Virat Kohli's dominance continues as he played an unbeaten captain's knock of 160 runs to take his side to a mammoth score of 303 in the third of the six-match series against South Africa at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on Wednesday.
After being asked to bat first, Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan led the charge for India after departure of opener Rohit Sharma on duck. The two stitched a 140-run partnership as Dhawan was caught out on 76 by Aiden Markram on JP Duminy's ball. Duminy also claimed Ajinkya Rahane on 11 while all-rounder Hardik Pandya was removed on 14 by Chris Morris.
As wickets tumbled for India, Kohli remained rooted to hit his 34th ODI ton. It was Kohli's 12th ODI century as captain to surpass Sourav Ganguly's tally of 11. The captain kept the scoreboard in motion as Dhoni departed on 10, followed by Kedar Jadhav on 1.
Kohli remained unbeaten on 160 with Bhuvneshwar Kumar on 16 to set a competitive target of 304 for South Africa. India are currently leading the series 2-0 by dismantling the hosts in the first two matches in Durban and Centurion with consummate ease.
