5 records set by MS Dhoni that Mohammad Rizwan might not be able to break in his career

Former India skipper MS Dhoni will always be recognised for his contributions to Indian cricket and for arguably being the most successful captain in India's history. The Ranchi-born has notched up many records during his stint as a wicketkeeper batter making his journey very special.

Starting in 2004, young Dhoni instantly created an impression, and his growth was unbelievable as he eventually became one of the most important cogs in India's wheel.

Dhoni has been able to immortalise his name in the history books and not many of his records can be broken by another individual. Pakistan’s wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan has been at the top of his game for the last couple of years. Moreover, the player is currently the no.1 batter in the ICC Men's T20I Batting Rankings. At 30, the player has seen great outings both for his domestic and for his national side.

5 records set by MS Dhoni that Mohammad Rizwan might not be able to break

5. 10,000 runs in ODIs

MS Dhoni has been widely recognised as a successful captain but due to his lethal batting, he was capable to set records that will be difficult for the players from the upcoming generation to break. The former wicketkeeper batsman achieved the feat of scoring 10,000+ runs in the ODI format of the game. A feat that would be difficult for Rizwan to achieve.  

Though Rizwan is highly reliable in the T20 format of the game but in ODI cricket, the right-handed batter has only scored 1065 in his 49 outings for Pakistan.

Dhoni retired with an average of more than 50 (50.57) in ODIs and it is the second-best after Virat Kohli among the players who have scored 10,000 runs or more. On the other hand, Rizwan has a long way to go to reach 10,000 runs and for that the player will need to maintain consistency and score big on numerous occasions.
