Coming into bat with Asia XI tottering at 72 for five, Dhoni added 218 runs (off just 178 balls) with skipper Mahela Jayawardene [ Images ] for the sixth wicket establishing a new partnership record for this wicket in one-day internationals.

The previous record of 165 runs was set by Australia's [ Images ] Brad Haddin [ Images ] and Mike Hussey [ Images ] against West Indies [ Images ] at Kuala Lumpur in September 2006 and also between New Zealand's [ Images ] Brian McCullum and Craig McMillan [ Images ] against Australia at Hamilton in February 2007.

Dhoni then went on to surpass the record of scoring the highest individual innings by a number seven batsman in one-day internationals. Interestingly the previous record was set just four days ago by Shaun Pollock [ Images ] in the first match of this series.

Pollock had broken the record of India's [ Images ] Mohammad Kaif. Another Indian has got it back, though while doing so he was representing Asia XI and not Team India.
