MS Dhoni was brilliant during the recently concluded ODI series against Australia as he scored three consecutive fifties and was recently awarded the Man of the series for his match-winning knocks and his brilliant run of form also served as a fitting reply to his many critics. Now as India travelling to New Zealand next for a five-match ODI series, Dhoni has a chance to add another major feat to his name.
When it comes to the list of leading run-getters for India in an ODI series in New Zealand, Dhoni is currently third. The former skipper stands behind Sachin Tendulkar (652 from 18 matches) and Virender Sehwag (598 in 12 matches). Hence, Dhoni requires 197 runs to overcame Tendulkar in order to add another milestone to his name.
The five-match ODI series between the two team begins in Napier on January 23. Meanwhile, Wellington, Auckland and Hamilton are scheduled to host the three T20Is respectively.
