Wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni completed his 2,000 runs in One-Day Internationals during his match-winning knock against Bangladesh on Thursday.
The remarkable thing about Dhoni's performance is that among all wicketkeepers in the world, he is the third fastest to reach this landmark, in his 62nd innings.
Only fellow teammate and skipper Rahul Dravid and England's Alec Stewart have completed 2,000 runs in lesser number of innings than Dhoni.
The following table lists the quickest wicketkeepers to 2,000-run mark:
