MS Dhoni Scores Slowest Fifty By An Indian In 16 Years

West Indies, July 03: As we all knew that, The Carribean team has been defeated the Team India here on Sunday, in their 4th ODI match.

Normally, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is finishing the match with an elegant style, but he failed to do so, even more, he took 108 balls to complete his fifty.

This was the slowest fifty by an Indian in 16 years and the second Slowest overall by an Indian in ODI history.

Sadagoppan Ramesh has the record of scoring a fifty off the maximum number of balls (117) for India against Kenya in 1999 while former India captain Sourav Ganguly is third on the list for his 105-ball fifty against Sri Lanka in 2005.

After scoring 78 not out in the previous match and comparing himself to vintage wine that tastes better with the passage of time, he has certainly disappointed this time. And his slow paced innings has backfired for sure.
