Dhoni goes third at No. 6, and past 5000 as captain

During the course of his innings, MS Dhoni became the third Indian to aggregate 5000 runs as captain in ODIs   

MS Dhoni's unbeaten 139 in this match was the third-highest individual score by a No. 6 batsman in ODIs. Kapil Dev's unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe at the 1983 World Cup is the highest individual scored by a No. 6 in ODIs.

Dhoni's century was the highest individual score at Mohali, beating 134 by AB de Villiers against Netherlands in the 2011 World Cup. This was also the first ODI hundred by an India batsman at this venue. The previous highest was 99 by Sachin Tendulkar against Pakistan in 2007.

When he crossed 100 in this match, Dhoni became the third Indian to aggregate 5000 ODI runs as captain, after Mohammad Azharuddin and Sourav Ganguly. Dhoni is the quickest among them, having crossed 5000 in his 127th innings as captain; Ganguly took 136 innings and Azharuddin, 151.
