The competition was held in January 2006 in Faisalabad. MS came to the rescue of the Indian team following on with five wickets for 281 runs once morest Pakistan’s 588. Dhoni and Irfan Pathan’s partnership is a firecracker.
Pak bowling consists of Mohammad Asif, Shoaib Akhtar, Danish Kaneria, Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razak. Dhoni and Pathan often faced them in T20 style.
When the partnership started, both were in attacking mode and Kaneria and Razak were the most hitters. Dhoni completed his half century in just 34 balls. Later the two got together for some time. This calm lasted only until Shoaib Akhtar was bowled by Dhoni for four boundaries in an over.
India narrowly avoided defeat when the two forged a valuable partnership of 210 runs there.
Dhoni scored 135 runs and Pathan scored 63 runs in that partnership. Later, this innings of India ends with the joint effort of Pathan, Harbhajan, Zaheer and Kumble taking the lead.
It was Dhoni’s first Test century. In his fifth Test, he scored 148 off 153 balls with 19 fours and four sixes. 100 runs scored only through boundaries.
Dhoni scored his maiden ODI century in his fifth match.
Even then, the opponents are Pakistan. Individual score that day was 148. This 148 is also the highest identical score in Dhoni’s international cricket career.
