A world record for Dhoni
Rajneesh Gupta
February 20, 2006

Indian wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni [Images], by remaining unbeaten on 77 in the fifth and final one-day international against Pakistan at Karachi on Sunday, got a world record on his name -- at least for the time being.

Dhoni's career batting average at the end of the series stands at 53.95, which is the highest for any batsman having scored at least 1,000 runs in one-day internationals. Dhoni moved ahead of Australia's Michael Bevan [Images].

The following table lists the batsmen with highest career average:
