As the Virat Kohli-led team India take the field for the 4th One Day International against Sri Lanka, the focus is bound to be on Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who will play his 300th ODI. India has been dominant over the hosts in this tour, as the visitors have not allowed the hosts to secure a single win. First, they were whitewashed in the Tests and now, India has already taken a 3-0 unassailable lead. Virat Kohli has made it very clear that he would try out new permutations and combinations, keeping the 2019 cricket World Cup in mind.
Sri Lanka on the other end maybe staring at disqualification if they do not win the next two ODI’s. It is a precarious situation for the hosts as they are under immense pressure to deliver now.
But with the focus on MS Dhoni, he is also on the verge of making two unique world records. He is one stumping shy of the 100 mark. Also, he will be chasing the record number of not outs as he is currently on 72 and he needs just one more not out to create another record. So with the attention on MS Dhoni, here is how the cricket fraternity wished MS Dhoni on Twitter.

MS Dhoni 300
MS Dhoni had been a very successful captain for India in all formats. He also helped India win 2007 WT20 and guided the team to the 2011 cricket World Cup win.
