The former India captain avoids the spotlight, but his supporters are wishing him a happy birthday on social media. As captain, Dhoni, who made his India debut in 2004, led the team to greater heights. He did wicket-keeping and played the finisher’s position in addition to guiding Team India across all three formats for seven years.
Dhoni, arguably the best wicketkeeper in cricket history, has been on vacation for the past year. He was set to return in the IPL 2020 season, but the event is now on hold owing to a global epidemic. Dhoni has been restricted to his home since March as a result of this.
Since 2007, when Dhoni was the captain of Team India’s white-ball team, he has been the only captain in international cricket to lead his side to all six T20 World Cups.
Dhoni also led Team India to the second round of each of the six T20 World Cups he has participated in. Team India, however, was unable to repeat its feat. Dhoni holds the record for the longest innings played by an Indian wicketkeeper in any format. In Test cricket, he is the only Indian wicketkeeper-batsman to record a double-century. It’s hard to believe, but in IPL 2008, Dhoni’s T20 World Cup-winning team was without a home team.
He opted to participate in the auction and received USD 1.5 million as a result. MS Dhoni was the first Indian cricketer to be awarded the honorary title of lieutenant colonel in 2011. Cricket was not his first love, unlike the majority of the other players. Dhoni began his career as a goalkeeper, impressing his coach with his abilities.
