MS Dhoni's 300th ODI: 5 Indian players who are part of the 300-club

#4 Sourav Ganguly

Ganguly played a total of 311 ODIs from 1992 to 2007

Ganguly’s ODI career was forced into a four-year sabbatical after an ungainly debut in 1992 threatened to throw him off the rails. A stupendous Test debut kick-started a purple patch in ODIs, with big knocks, including a 183 in the 1999 World Cup, paved the way for captaincy in both formats. His most prolific years came in 1999 and 2000, where he averaged 46.50 and 56.39 in successive calendar years.

2005 was painstakingly dry for the southpaw, whose off-side play was a sight for gods. Coinciding with his tiff with coach Greg Chappell, the year saw him score runs at an average of 17.41 in 13 ODIs.

His remarkable Test comeback ensured that he got on to the bus for the 2007 World Cup, scoring bucketful of runs that year, but an ODI against Pakistan that November, where he opened one last time with Sachin Tendulkar, was the last time he represented India in coloured clothing.
