Adelaide, Feb 14: It's been a little over seven years since MS Dhoni first donned the famous blue jersey in Chittagong on a foggy December 23 afternoon against Bangladesh. He made a duck in his first outing, but the man from Ranchi, has taken the world by storm with his ferocious hitting and ability to stay calm even under extreme pressure. 

Dhoni's journey, which began as a slam-bang batsman and wicket-keeper has been extraordinary to say the least. From merely a dasher, who was promoted to No. 3 to get a few big scores in the Chappell regime, he graduated to a capable leader of men in all three formats. 

His trophy cabinet boasts of two World titles (the World T20 in South Africa in 2007 and the World Cup, 2011), two IPL crowns and a Champions League T20 trophy. His ride in Tests has been bumpy of late, but not to forget, he was captain of the team when India became the No. 1-ranked team in the longest format in December 2009. 

The 30-year-old, on Tuesday, will scale yet another high when he walks out for the toss at the Adelaide Oval against Sri Lanka. He will become the first Indian wicket-keeper batsman to play in 200 ODIs and only the fifth in the world after South Africa's Mark Boucher (294), Australia's Adam Gilchrist (282), Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (269) and Pakistan's Moin Khan (211).
