Australia vs India 2019, ODI series - Combined XI

5. MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni became the oldest Indian to win an ODI Man of the Series award. There was a lot of pressure on him coming into this series having gone without a half-century in 2018. But the veteran struck three back-to-back fifties to guide India to a historic series win.

Dhoni struck a 96-ball 51 after coming in at 4/3 in the first game. His unbeaten 55 off 54 balls helped India hunt down 299 while his unbeaten 87 in the series decider played a big role in the visitors crossing the finish line (target of 231). Thus, Dhoni finished the series with 193 runs and was dismissed just once.
