Photos: The highs and lows of MS Dhoni's roller-coaster Test career

  [caption id=“attachment_2022937” align=“alignleft” width=“940”] MS Dhoni along with his team mates, runs to the ground after the refreshments break on the fifth and final day of the second cricket test match between India and Pakistan in Faisalabad, January 25, 2006. Dhoni captained his country in 60 Tests - an Indian record.

Overall, this is the third fastest in test cricket by a wicketkeeper/batsman.

He went on to play in 90 Tests.

But not many have been as lucky as Symonds. Dhoni holds the world record for number of stumpings in international cricket - with 134.

He was in the middle with Sachin Tendulkar when the little master brought up his 50th Test ton.

In India’s last two series against England, the visitors lost 1-3 and 0-4. In this picture, Dhoni trudges off dismissed for a duck during the fifth cricket test match against England at the Oval cricket ground in London August 17, 2014.

England beat his side in India too — but Dhoni continued to lead the team. Probably the series loss against Australia was too much - and Dhoni called it a day from Test cricket. The flowing mane has now turned to a greying crop and he will still go down as one of India’s greatest test players. Getty Images[/caption]
