India’s limited-overs skipper MS Dhoni achieved another milestone during the course of the third ODI match against New Zealand at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali as he completed 9000 runs in ODI cricket and created history!

The 35-year-old achieved the feat in his 281st ODI match. He is the 5th Indian cricketer to achieve this milestone, after Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and Mohammad Azharuddin. Overall, he is the 17th player in ODI cricket to score 9000 runs, and the only one with an average over 50.

Meanwhile, Dhoni also broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record of the highest number of sixes by an Indian batsman in ODIs, hitting his 196 six to overtake Tendulkar’s 195 sixes.

It was a moment worth celebrating for team India, as well as for cricket lovers. People expressed their happiness on Twitter and flooded Twitter with their happy, congratulatory wishes.

Recently, we saw Sushant Singh Rajput playing the character of Dhoni in MS Dhoni’s biopic. The actor got an amazing response from all the groups of audience.

Amid his preparations for his upcoming film ‘Takadum’ opposite Parineeti Chopra, Sushant took out time and traveled to Mohali for the third ODI between India and New Zealand.

The actor posted a selfie wearing the Indian jersey asking fans where he is headed to and then posted pictures from the stands where he was watching the match.

He definitely shares a special relationship with Dhoni and his happiness at Dhoni’s success can be seen in the congratulatory tweet he posted.

Sushant wrote a famous dialogue from his film ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ and wished Dhoni for his achievement…

“Hum bole the naa mahiya upar aayega to bahut maarega” 💪#WellPlayedCaptain 👏#DhoniSushantOnField 😎😎
