5 embarrassing records of MS Dhoni
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has achieved tremendous glory for his country as an individual cricketer and as a captain. He has already achieved some staggering records which speak volumes about his success.
The 34-year-old has led India to two World Cup titles in two different formats. He was the captain of the Indian team when they won the inaugural T20 World Cup held in South Africa in 2007. He was also the leader of the victorious Indian team which won the World Cup in 2011.
The wicketkeeper-batsman is also the most successful Indian wicket-keeper with the highest number of dismissals in both Tests and ODIs. Apart from his wicket-keeping records his batting record also stands tall in the 50-over format.
He was the captain of the Indian side which reached the No. 1 Test ranking in the official ICC rankings. Despite achieving success, Dhoni has also accumulated some embarrassing records during his distinguished career.
Here we are list the five most ignominious records created by MS Dhoni.
First Indian captain to lose a series against Bangladesh
The Indian cricket team toured Bangladesh during the last monsoon to play one Test match and a three-match ODI series. After drawing the only Test of the tour the Indian team played the ODI series under the leadership of MS Dhoni.
For the first time in history, India lost two consecutive matches against Bangladesh and by that, they also lost the three-match ODI series. MS Dhoni holds the dubious record of being the first Indian captain to lose a series against Bangladesh, a record which is surely not cherished by his fans.
India lost the first encounter against Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka by 79 runs and also lost the next match at the same venue by six wickets. Though India won the third and last match of the series it only saved them from being whitewashed by our not so mighty neighbours.
