India were not off to the best of starts after loosing 2 for 41, chasing a fighting total of 286. Dhoni stepped up the order, and came in at number 4, when the team needed him the most. This arguable decision of stepping up resulted in a match winning partnership of 151 runs between Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni.
During his innings of 80, Dhoni crossed the 9 thousand runs mark, becoming just the 3rd wicket keeper and 5th Indian batsman to do so. The Man of the Match award went to Virat Kohli for his unbeaten 154. As India take a 2-1 lead after winning the third ODI, twitter started?congratulating team India. We take a look at the top tweets:
Congratulations India,kya Victory rahi aaj boss.
