9 years ago when MS Dhoni started his career..

He came to play with a bat having no sticker on it, coz he was from a very poor family and nobody knew him..

Even a BAS Sticker is given to a debutant..

But now ??
Yes ..

MS Dhoni has the highest ever paid bat sponsered by SPARTAN .. i.e..
25 Crores

From a poor boy to the world's richest cricketer..
Yess..
MS Dhoni did it...!!

As far as ODIs go, Dhoni is now the best batsman in India, and arguably the best middle-overs man in the world. Today he marched past 7000 ODI runs, while averaging 52.00 per innings. That's seven runs clear of Sachin Tendulkar's average when he got there, and a whole 10 runs more than Ricky Ponting's. And despite restraining himself in the middle overs in recent years, Dhoni has got those runs at a strike-rate of 88.45. Those are the stats of a master.

img MS Dhoni - the ODI champ!!Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the greatest wicket-keeper batsmen of all time. As a captain too, he has had great success, the only captain to lead his team to glory in all 3 formats. He is the best finisher in ODI cricket ever along with Bevan. As a wicket-keeper captain, Dhoni has no parallels. Let’s look at his contributions in his successes. His stats are proof enough..MS Dhoni in won ODIs.Matches – 124, Runs – 4605, Average – 74.27, 6 tons and 36 fifties, 183 dismissals..MS Dhoni as captain in won ODIs.Matches – 78, Runs – 2953, Average – 73.82, 3 tons and 24 fifties, 119 dismissals.Dhoni has led India to World Cup, Asia Cup and Tri-Series in Australia.Cup Finals: Matches – 9, Runs – 430, Average – 61.42, 4 fifties(Dhoni has fired 4 times in 9 finals. No other Indian Captain has his consistency).World Cup: Matches – 9, Runs – 241, Average – 48.20.Asia Cup: Matches – 13, Runs – 571, Average – 95.16.Australian Tri-Series: Matches – 17, Runs – 552, Average – 61.33.MS Dhoni’s stats outside India:.Matches – 137, Runs – 4276, Average – 48.59(For batsmen with scoring minimum of 3000 runs, Dhoni has the best average for an Indian Batsman outside India).Many say his average is due to the fact that he comes very low and stays not out. For them, I have a stat..MS Dhoni when batting in the top 5.Matches – 89, Runs – 3911, Average – 63.08(Highest average by any batsman in the history ODI cricket with 3000+ runs).MS Dhoni when in batting in the top 5 (won games).Matches – 54, Runs – 2868, Average – 89.62 (superhuman stuff).2004 – 19 runs at an average of 9.502005 – 895 runs at an average of 49.722006 – 821 runs at an average of 41.052007 – 1103 runs at an average of 44.122008 – 1097 runs at an average of 57.732009 – 1198 runs at an average of 70.472010 – 600 runs at an average of 46.152011 – 764 runs at an average of 58.762012 – 524 runs at an average of 65.50.Averages outside sub-continent.Eng –39.81SA – 25.81NZ – 51.50WI – 34.00Aus – 61.33.In successful run chases, MS Dhoni has the best average in the all time list of ODIs.Matches – 66, Runs – 2057, Average – 97.95..As a captain, Dhoni is in 8th spot among all time ODI captains and his winning % of 62.10 is in the all time top-5. He is India’s most successful ODI captain. He has close to 3000 runs at a stunning average of 73 (stats provided at the start) which is the best average by any captain ever) which doesn’t mean that he alone makes the team win but that he is a very essential player in India’s victories. During Team India’s best ODI patch between 2008-2011,Dhoni -scored 2143 runs (2nd only to Gambhir with 2250 runs) at a superb average of 73.89. Gambhir bats in top 3 and Dhoni in the middle order, yet look at the minute difference. This shows that Dhoni’s huge contribution during India’s best ODI phase. He wasn't a lucky captain with a great team. He was the best player in the team during the team's best phase (if you add his contribution with gloves)..Dhoni is 5th in the list of all time ODI wicket-keepers. -.Dhoni holds the record for the highest individual score by a wicket-keeper..Dhoni was ICC ODI Player of the Year in 2008 and 2009..This feat of winning it twice is a world record..He has also been in the ICC ODI XI of the Year from 2008-2013 for 6 straight years that too as the wk-bat and captain – another record!!!.He is the only captain to win Man of the Series awards in 4 different countries..He has the 3rd highest number of Man of the Match awards as captain, highest by an Indian Captain..Dhoni was awarded the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award in 2007-08 (2nd cricketer to win it after Tendulkar..Dhoni was conferred the rank of Lt.Colonel in 2011(2nd cricketer after Kapil Dev).Always in the list of all time ODI greats ever – be it in batting, wicket-keeping or captaincy, number one wicket-keeper batsman/ -captain of all times. He is none other than MS Dhoni – Man of Steel Dhoni. I didn't say this nor did any blind Dhoni fan say this. The stats say it all
