Former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was forced to skip the third ODI against New Zealand due to a hamstring strain, only the third such instance in his illustrious limited-overs career.
The last time Dhoni missed a one-dayer due to injury was six years ago against during a 2013 tri-series in the West Indies.
Known for his good fitness levels, Dhoni has overall missed only five ODIs in the last 14 years.
Troubled by his hamstring, Dhoni had missed three matches in 2013 and also skipped one match each against Ireland and South Africa in 2007 due to viral fever.
