The Indian captain MS Dhoni was on a record-breaking spree against New Zealand in Mohali. Dhoni on his way to a match-winning partnership with Virat Kohli bettered a number of records in the one-dayers.
Dhoni, who was playing his 281st one-dayer, shattered as many as seven records in the 3rd ODI. Bating at number 4, he made a record-setting 91-ball 80, featuring three monstrous sixes and six boundaries.
Here are some of the records MS Dhoni broke in Mohali:

2.) Dhoni is the sixth quickest to complete 9000 runs ODIs. He took 244 innings to reach the milestone.

4.) Dhoni scored his fifth ODI fifty against New Zealand. It was also his 61st half-century overall.
5.) In a winning cause, Dhoni has scored 5365 runs in 155 matches. He averages 72.50, which is highest for any batsman with 5000 runs or more in wins.
