Dhoni was widely criticised for not showing initiative in his 37-ball 58 as India could only manage 236 in 50 overs after England posted 322 for seven.

Hailed as one of the best ever finishers in limited overs, Dhoni in the past couple of years has struggled to finish a lot of high-pressure games unless there has been top-order support from the other end.

Dhoni needed just 33 runs to achieve the milestone and he did it with a single in the 43rd over of the second ODI between India and England at the iconic Lord's Stadium.

Only a few would disagree that except for something exceptional, it is rare for Dhoni to express himself on the field.

While Dhoni cut a cake on the occasion with his family and teammates, his wife Sakshi used the occasion to write a special heartfelt message on Instagram.

Hales made a match-winning 58 not out off 41 deliveries as the hosts reached their target with two balls to spare.

The Multan of Sultan also believed that Bumrah's absence due to injury might not necessarily prove to be a disadvantage for the team.

With the 2019 ODI World Cup less than 12 months away, there is more than bragging rights at stake as both sides look to fine-tune preparations against an opposition of note.
