A look at MS Dhoni's Test records

#2 Most Test runs as an Indian captain

MS Dhoni holds the record for the most number of runs by an Indian captain ever in Test cricket. With 3454 runs, he went past former batting great Sunil Gavaskar’s tally of 3449 runs during the just concluded Boxing Day Test against Australia. Mohammad Azharuddin (2856) and Sourav Ganguly (2561) are at the third and fourth spots respectively.

Despite his suspect technique being a huge hindrance to succeed in the game’s testing format, his steely resolve helped him fair reasonably well. That he has averages better as a Test captain (40.63) than Ganguly (37.66) says a lot.
