Dhoni holds numerous
captaincy records such as most wins by an Indian captain in Tests and ODIs, and
most back-to-back wins by an Indian captain in ODIs. He took over the ODI
captaincy from Rahul Dravid in 2007 and led the team to its first-ever
bilateral ODI series wins in Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Under his captaincy,
India won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the CB Series of 2007–08, the 2010 Asia Cup,
the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. In the final of the 2011 World Cup, Dhoni
scored 91 not out off 79 balls to take India to victory for which he was
awarded the Man of the Match. In June 2013, when India defeated England in the
final of the Champions Trophy in England, Dhoni became the first captain to win
all three ICC limited-over trophies
(World Cup, Champions Trophy and the World Twenty20).
