Played 350th and final ODI

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a prominent figure in Indian cricket, played his 350th One Day International (ODI) match during a semi-final against New Zealand. This match marked the culmination of a distinguished ODI career that spanned over a decade and a half. Dhoni's contributions to the Indian cricket team were significant, as he led the team to numerous victories, including the ICC T20 World Cup and the ICC Cricket World Cup. His leadership style and strategic acumen were pivotal in shaping the team's performance on the international stage. Following the semi-final loss to New Zealand, Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket, having not participated in any international matches since India's exit from the 2019 Cricket World Cup. This decision came after a period of reflection on his career and the evolving dynamics of the team, as younger players began to emerge. Dhoni's retirement marked the end of an era for Indian cricket, as he was not only a successful captain but also a key player known for his finishing abilities and wicketkeeping skills. His legacy continues to influence aspiring cricketers and the sport in India.
