MS Dhoni creates an unwanted world record in the 3rd T20I against England

In the 3rd T20I of the recently concluded series between India and England, Team India’s former skipper MS Dhoni created a world record which only very few of the cricketing fans are aware of.

After a decade-long T20I career that had spanned 76 matches, Dhoni scored his maiden T20I fifty in his 66th innings, thereby creating a world record for the most number of innings to score a maiden T20I fifty, beating Gary Wilson‘s mark of 42 innings.

The hard-hitting batsman also completed his 5000 runs in T20 matches at Bengaluru.
