Career Milestones
MS Dhoni — Career Overview
MS Dhoni is a wk-batsman from India. MS bats right handed bat and bowls right-arm medium and keeps wicket. Wicketkeeper-batters carry one of the most demanding workloads in the modern game: hours of concentration behind the stumps and a finishing role with the bat, often through the middle and death overs. Reflexes, footwork to spin and a calm head under pressure separate the best in this category. India is one of the playing nations represented across the international and franchise calendar, with players drawn from the domestic system and the academy pathway into the senior side. International batting record — 90 Tests: 4,876 runs at an average of 38.09, strike rate 59.12 (6 hundreds, 33 fiftys); 350 ODIs: 10,773 runs at an average of 50.58, strike rate 87.57 (10 hundreds, 73 fiftys); 98 T20Is: 1,617 runs at an average of 37.60, strike rate 126.13 (2 fiftys). International bowling — 1 wicket in ODI at 31.00, economy 5.17. Domestic and franchise career — IPL: 5,439 runs in 278 matches. Career statistics in cricket are best read across formats: a Test average, an ODI strike rate and a T20I economy each tell a different part of the story, and modern selection often turns on how a player splits their time across red-ball and white-ball cricket within a packed annual schedule. Recent form, opposition strength and conditions at the venue also weigh heavily alongside the headline numbers. Our player database tracks MS Dhoni's match-by-match appearances across the international and domestic calendar, with batting and bowling splits by format, opposition, venue and time period.
