After dodging the delivery, Dhoni gave a death-stare to Akhtar, who was later cooled down by umpire Simon Taufel.

With three successive boundaries off Akhtar, when the scoreboard was reading 468-5, the former Indian cricketer was surprised by a 'purposeful' beamer from the speedster. However, Dhoni took on a barrage of short balls from Akhtar and smacked them to the fence. The Rawalpindi Express was bowling at his best, with raw pace and bounce on a flat deck, and had accounted for the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar before Dhoni's lethal show. What stood out during Dhoni's whirlwind 148 (19 fours and 4 sixes), off 153 balls, was the fact that he dominated Shoaib Akhtar, who was responsible for India slipping from 236-1 to 281-5. The then youngster Dhoni played his natural game and stitched a game-changing 210-run stand with Irfan Pathan (90). Thus, he remains the most successful keeper-batsman in Tests from the country.ĭuring his maiden Test ton, Dhoni came out to bat with India struggling at 281-5 in response to Pakistan's 588 in the second and penultimate Test (during India's 2006 tour to Pakistan) at Faisalabad. Improving his game gradually while facing swing and taking blows on his body, the former Test captain amassed 4,876 runs with 38 half-centuries (second overall among keepers) and 6 tons in whites. While the 39-year-old made a name for himself due to his finishing skills in limited-overs, power-hitting, unorthodox yet impressive wicketkeeping abilities along with a successful captaincy tenure, the former right-hander also returned with proud numbers for a keeper-batsman in Tests.ĭhoni, who remains a limited batsman due to his unorthodox technique, was a handy lower-order batsman for India in the purest format of the game. MS Dhoni had a sensational international career for Team India, spanning from 2004-2020. During Dhoni's whirlwind 148 vs Pakistan in the Faisalabad Test in 2006, he gave a death-stare to Shoaib Akhtar for bowling a beamer on purpose.Later audience syncs only send updates for users whose membership has changed since the last sync.
