MS Dhoni ODI Runs – Year by Year

Mahendra Singh Dhoni played a major role in the Indian cricket team from the mid-2000s to the late 2010s.

His records in cricket across formats prove that.

It is fair to say that he is the best captain-batsman-wicketkeeper combo in the history of cricket.

Especially as a batsman, from an aggressive top-order batsman at the beginning of his career to a stable lower-middle-order batsman, he has always been a paramount force in the Indian batting unit throughout his career.

The table below, which portrays MS Dhoni’s year-wise batting stats, will prove the above statement.
