MS Dhoni was one of the most decorated cricketers for India across all three formats. As skipper, he won all major titles for the country. Even, under him, India became the number one team in the longest format of the game. As an individual batter also, Dhoni managed to break many records.
In ODIs, he managed to score more than 10000 runs, even while batting down the order. But, there were several records in International cricket that even Dhoni failed to break or achieve. Seein his overall stats and abilities, fans might find it very surprising to see Dhoni missing out on these records by such margins.
