Chasing a total of 189, MS Dhoni reached his half-century in 108 deliveries. Dhoni ended up with a score of 54 of 114 balls. In the process, MS Dhoni surpassed Sourav Ganguly's record of a lowest fifty in 16 years.
Sourav Ganguly reached his fifty in 105 balls in 2005 vs Sri Lanka and then in 104 balls in 2007 against Bangladesh.
