The cricket fans broke into tears when one of the most successful captains, MS Dhoni, decided to draw curtains on his glorious international career. The Ranchi stalwart captured the hearts of people through his game and just the way he carried himself all these years on the field. His association with players, able guidance, and calm demeanour shall be remembered by generations to come. He was last seen in action against New Zealand at the 2019 World Cup semi-final.

His admirers were just counting days to get his one more glance in 2021 T20 WC, but unfortunately, the former India skipper had different plans. Millions of fans around the world started posting demands for his grand farewell match to give hero, his well-deserved send-off. The only captain to lift all the ICC trophies decided to cease his international career and circulated the news through a simple Instagram post.

Though he has innumerable records and achievements under his belt, there are things, that always remain to get hold of and to be honest, this is how it goes in life.

Let’s look at five personal milestones MS Dhoni missed after taking international retirement:

1. 100 Test matches, 5000 Test runs and 300 dismissals

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-273702" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/MS-Dhoni-2.jpg" alt="MS Dhoni" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-273702" class="wp-caption-text">MS Dhoni of India.

MS Dhoni captained Team India in Tests from 2008-2014, and in between, the team attained no 1 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/two-uae-players-charged-under-icc-anti-corruption-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ICC</a> Test rankings also. However, his sudden retirement from the format in 2014 came as a shocker for everyone and more so as the team was in the middle of Australia tour.

However, thereafter he remained a crucial figure for Men in Blue in the limited-overs format. Having played 90 Test matches and scored 4876 runs in his career, the amazing cricketer was just a few away from his 100 Tests and 5000 Test runs before he quit the format.

In the same manner, he had 294 Test dismissals to his name. If he would have extended his career a bit longer in Test format, Dhoni would have achieved 300 Test dismissals to his name. Whatever it may be, he did make a mark in the longest format of the game with all his class.

2. 100 T20I matches, 100 T20I dismissals

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-436960" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/MS-Dhoni-vs-Sri-Lanka.jpg" alt="MS Dhoni vs Sri Lanka" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-436960" class="wp-caption-text">MS Dhoni vs Sri Lanka. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Having played 98 matches in the T20I format along with 91 dismissals to his credit, MS Dhoni was just away from touching 100 in both the categories. If he would have stayed a bit longer, he would have definitely seen his 100th T20I match and 100 dismissals in the same format.

However, having captained the T20I format from 2007-2016, the team touched new highs. In fact, he has the record of winning most T20I matches as a captain. Having played 72 matches in the shortest format as a skipper, Mahi won 45 out of them, summing his win percent to amazing 59.28%.

There was one match that tied, and two, which ended in no result out of 72. In this, he has surpassed the likes of William Porterfield, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/eoin-morgan-can-replace-dinesh-karthik-as-kolkata-knight-riders-captain-sunil-gavaskar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Eoin Morgan</a>, and Asghar Afghan. The current skipper Virat Kohli stands at 11th pedestal in the same list.

3. 450 ODI dismissals

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Having 350 ODI matches and bringing significant 10,773 runs for the home side, MS Dhoni&#8217;s contribution to the format will always remain unmatchable. Ending India’s drought of WC trophy for 28 long years, the hero got it for his country in the year 2011 at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.

He led the team in the same format from 2007 and stepped down in 2017 before a series against England. However, he had 444 dismissals under his belt in ODIs before he stepped down from the format on August 15, 2020. Had he extended his career a bit long, he would have definitely got 450 dismissals to his credit.

Dhoni’s 183* against Sri Lanka in Jaipur in the year 2005 stunned opponents, and it remains to be his personal best ODI score. He has ten centuries and 73 half-centuries on his name in this format of the game.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-356513" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/CT_348575.jpg" alt width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-356513" class="wp-caption-text">MS Dhoni (Photo credit should read JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption>

When people around the world say MS Dhoni hit the stumps with lightning-fast speed, there has to be a reason behind it. He also has the record of hitting the stumps on 123 occasions in ODIs, the highest by any wicket-keeper in the world in the same format.

However, he has a total of 195 international stumpings. If the hero would have played a few more matches, 200 stumpings would have been an easy catch for him. In the ODI format, the wicket-keepers that follow him in the same list are <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kumar-sangakkara-names-his-batting-heroes-and-most-difficult-fast-bowlers-he-has-ever-faced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kumar Sangakkara</a> and Romesh Kaluwitharana.

There have been incidents on the field when a batsman didn&#8217;t even understand what happened and MS Dhoni was there, making appeals in front of the umpire. This was his pace, this was his accuracy, and this was his consistency which came handy for the team for all the years he graced the cricked field.

5. Most International runs as Wicket-keeper

When some most successful wicket-keeper batsmen of the world are remembered, the likes of Kumar Sangakkara, MS Dhoni, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/always-a-pleasure-to-play-against-you-adam-gilchrists-message-on-ms-dhonis-retirement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adam Gilchrist</a> hit the mind immediately. However, Sri Lankan star batsman has 17840 international runs as a wicket-keeper. On the other hand, MS Dhoni has 17266 international runs as a wicket-keeper.

If the former legendary Indian skipper would have stretched his career to some more time, he would have been able to achieve this feat too. However, the captain cool had enough under his belt in all these years, and he left the field with all the satisfaction.

Even since the most loved captain around the world has bid adieu to his international format, fans and critics around the world have been more active in throwing lights on his amazing stats. Having achieved bags full of success over the years, these were some of the magical figures that just slipped from his golden hands.

The cricket fans broke into tears when one of the most successful captains, MS Dhoni, decided to draw curtains on his glorious international career. The Ranchi stalwart captured the hearts of people through his game and just the way he carried himself all these years on the field.

5 Personal milestones MS Dhoni missed after taking international retirement

Though MS Dhoni has innumerable records and achievements under his belt, there are things, that always remain to get hold of
