New Delhi: If Virat Kohli figures out how to indent up a record in each inning that means in, at that point for Mahendra Singh Dhoni is has dependably been one in each arrangement. All things considered, that is the means by which overwhelming Team India is in the Gentleman's field. With respect to Dhoni, he had officially set himself up on record books in the third ODI of the arrangement against South Africa when he turned into the primary Indian wicketkeeper to impact 400 expulsions in the 50-over organization. What's more, now, on Friday, Dhoni by and by wound up among legends when he turned into the third wicketkeeper to finish 600 worldwide gets. 

Dhoni achieved the stamp after a shorter conveyance down the leg side from Shardul Thakur in the seventh over of South Africa's innings got a scratch of Hashim Amla's glove as the wicketkeeper finished the convention. Not an extremely extraordinary conveyance to expel a batsman of Amla's stature, yet it was unquestionably a snapshot of euphoria for Thakur as he snatched his lady wicket on Proteas soil, while Dhoni finished 600 global gets. Dhoni turned into the third wicketkeeper to accomplish the point of reference after previous South African gloveman Mark Boucher (952 gets) and Aussie incredible Adam Gilchrist (813 gets).

Dhoni is only 33 flees from turning into the second wicketkeeper-batsman after Kumar Sangakkara to break the 10,000-run stamp in worldwide cricket. On the off chance that he figures out how to score up the check-in Centurion in the 6th ODI at that point, he will end up being the fourth Indian batsman after Sachin Tendulkar (18426 runs), Sourav Ganguly (11363 runs) and Rahul Dravid (10,889) to achieve the breakthrough and twelfth by and large. 

Put to bat to begin with, the hosts took off to a mindful begin, however, Shardul Thakur's twofold strike sent back both the openers - Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram. De Villiers and Khaya Zondo at that point sewed a 62-run remain for the third wicket before Chahal disintegrated down the debilitating association. Zondo went ahead to score up his lady 50 years in ODIs, while wickets began tumbling from the opposite end. Wickets kept on falling at standard interim and the hosts soon packaged out for only 204 runs. 

With as of now 1-4 down in the arrangement, South Africa is by all accounts gazing at an embarrassing 1-5 crush in the ODI arrangement. It would be for the second time that the hosts would face such a misfortune, the last time being against Australia in 2002.
