183 VS LANKA AT JAIPUR

The same year, Dhoni had cemented his place in ODI team especially after 148-run knock against Pakistan. But, this terrific 183 not out against Sri Lanka at Jaipur was jaw dropping. Chasing 299, India lost Tendulkar in the first over and MS walked in at No. 3. What followed was carnage. Sri Lankan bowlers, pacers and spinners were clobbered. Dhoni hit 15 fours and 11 sixes, taking India home with almost four overs to spare. The next highest score of an Indian batsman was 39!
