It was another century for former Indian skipper MS Dhoni and this time in front of the fans where he is worshipped — in Chennai. His match-winning knock of 79 helped India go up 1-0 in the series against Australia.
Dhoni became the fourth Indian to achieve 100 international fifties and in doing so he became the fourth Indian to the mark after Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. Dhoni also became only the second wicketkeeper-batsman after Kumar Sangakkara to reach this feat.
There is a massive fan base of MS Dhoni on the social media and Twitter went berserk when the right-handed batsman scored his 100th International fifty.
Here are some of the best Twitter reaction:

Who knows Dhoni has a record of watching maximum players getting out from non strikers end. 😂

If the team is a PC, Dhoni is the operating system. Keeps working in the background, supporting all new apps/players
