Man of the Match Awards for Dhoni in ODI

2 comments
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been a consistent performer in ODI matches for India. He could effortlessly change gears to suit the situation. He proved his attacking skills early in his career and his two innings, 148 against Pakistan and 183* against Sri Lanka, are proof of his aggression. Later, with more responsibility, he changed his style to a calm and cool aggregator. He could rotate his strike and open up during the end overs.

In this post, I have summarized the man of the match awards received by Dhoni in ODI matches. So far, he has received 9 awards from 120 matches played.
