M S Dhoni retires from international cricket: His 10 iconic knocks
In a match completely dominated by the
wicket-keepers, Dhoni overshadowed Kumar Sangakkara's unbeaten century to help
India register a famous win. Sangakkara's 138* helped Sri Lanka post an
imposing 298/4. However, Dhoni went a step ahead as his 145-ball unbeaten 183,
consisting of 15 fours and 10 sixes, took India home with almost four overs to
spare at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
In his fourth ODI, the stylish wicket-keeper
batsman, who used to sport long hair back then, announced himself on the
international stage by playing an explosive 148-run knock against arch-rivals
Pakistan. His 123-ball knock -- studded with 15 boundaries and four sixes --
helped India reach 356/9 in their 50 overs. Pakistan put in a brave show but
they ultimately fell short by 58 runs.
