Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday became the Indian batsman with most sixes in ODI cricket, overtaking Rohit Sharma's 216, during the third match against Australia in Ranchi.
Probably playing his last game at home ground in India colours, Dhoni lofted Nathan Lyon for a huge six over mid-wicket to the applause of expectant Ranchi crowd. It happened off the fourth ball of the 19th over.
