Dhoni's special century!

India’s Mahendra Singh Dhoni celebrates with Yuzvendra Chahal and Virat Kohli after stumping Sri Lanka’s Akila Dananjaya in the fifth ODI in Colombo. This was Dhoni’s 100th stumping in ODIs, a record.

100

The number of stumpings effected by M. S. Dhoni in ODI cricket. He became the first wicket-keeper to achieve this landmark in ODIs, when he stumped Akila Dhananjaya off the bowling of Yuzvendra Chahal in the fifth and final ODI in Colombo. No wicketkeeper has done so even in Tests and T20Is.

162

The number of stumpings effected by M. S. Dhoni in all international cricket. He is way ahead of the next best of 139 stumpings by Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara. The summary of MSD’s stumpings: 100 in ODIs, 38 in Tests and 24 in T20Is.

The number of times Virat Kohli has managed to register 1000 ODI runs in a single calendar year in his career. He, in fact, missed this landmark by just five runs in 2010. Incidentally, in the last eight years, since 2010, on seven occasions, Kohli has been India’s leading run-scorer in ODIs in a calendar year. The only year he missed out was in 2015, when Rohit Sharma, with 815 runs, topped the table. Kohli, that year, with 623 runs, finished fifth!

30

The number of centuries for Virat Kohli (in 186 innings) in ODI cricket. He equals the tally of Aussie Ricky Ponting (in 365 innings). Now, only Sachin Tendulkar with 49 centuries (in 452 innings) is ahead of Virat Kohli!

Fewest innings/matches taken to reach 30 ODI centuries

 

1016

The aggregate number of runs by Virat Kohli in T20 internationals, while chasing, now the most by any batsman in this format. Kiwi Brendon McCullum, the only other batsman over 1000, has 1006 runs.

15

The number of wickets claimed by Jasprit Bumrah in the recently-concluded ODI series against Sri Lanka. His tally of wickets is now the most claimed by any pace bowler in a five-match ODI bilateral series. The previous best was 14 wickets by Australian pacer Clint Mckay against Pakistan in Australia in 2009/10. However, it should be noted that Kiwi pacer Andre Adams had also claimed 14 wickets against India in New Zealand but in a four-match ODI series in 2002/03.

9

The number of international matches won by India, without a single loss or drawn/no-result game during its recent tour of Sri Lanka. This is now the best performance by any visiting side during a tour against a home side across all three formats! Australia, in February 2010, had achieved a 9-0 tour-wash when Pakistan visited the nation.
