Indian Cricket team’s former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni turns 40 and is about to start a new chapter in life. This man has led the Indian national team in limited-overs formats from 2007 to 2017 and in Test cricket from 2008 to 2014.
Over the years Dhoni has received many nicknames like ‘Captain Cool’ or CSK’s ‘Thala’ or the country’s superstar, MSD. The former India skipper ended up becoming one of the greatest captains to grace the cricket field. In his time, he won it all: From the T20I World Cup in 2007 and the 2013 Champions Trophy to the 2011 ODI World Cup on home soil.
Twitter has overloaded from all the wishes that people have sent to Dhoni for his birthday. From his teammates to his friends in other groups have all congratulated him and wished him luck for the years to come, they all have also shared their best pictures with him to make his day more memorable.
During his 15-year-long career, Dhoni underwent multiple transitions. He entered the international arena as a youngster, became a two-time World Cup-winning captain, and eventually retired a legend. All of his achievements have made him so popular in the world that fans and cricket fraternity from all over the world wished him ‘Happy Birthday’.
On August 15, 2020, Mahi announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, bringing down the curtains on an illustrious career. During his 15-year-old career, Dhoni played 90 Tests, in which he amassed 4,876 runs. He also played 350 ODIs in which he has scored 10,773 runs. And 98 T20Is, the swashbuckling batsman scored 1617 runs. He has been called the best wicketkeeper, the best batsman, and most importantly the best captain in his cricket journey.
