Delhi: Today is a special day for former captain and legendary wicketkeeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has given every major ICC title to the Indian cricket team. India's most successful captain Dhoni is celebrating his 43rd birthday today. Mahi was born on 7 July 1981 in Ranchi, Jharkhand. He is counted not only among the world's best players, but also among the greatest captains. Mahi joined Team India at the age of 23. He was made the captain despite the presence of veterans in the team. Under his captaincy, India achieved many titles and records like World Cup, Champions Trophy, ICC T20 World Cup, many Asia Cups, number one Test team.

Remember that 13 years ago, Dhoni had given India its second ICC World Cup title after 38 years. Team India defeated Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in the final of the World Cup played in India in 2011. Before this, the team in blue jersey had also won the ICC T20 World Cup held in South Africa in 2007. During this time too, the command of the team was in the hands of Dhoni. India did not stop here and Team India under the captaincy of MSD also won the ICC Champions Trophy played in England in 2013.

In this way, the Men in Blue have won every major ICC title so far and the credit for this goes to Dhoni, also known as Captain Cool, who represented the team for almost a decade and made India world champion many times. This itself shows Dhoni's ability and how great a player he is. Dhoni is the only captain in the world to have won every major ICC title.

Let us tell you that Mahi played his last international match in the ICC World Cup 2019. Dhoni, who was the world's number one match finisher, was run out after scoring 50 runs off 72 balls in his last international match against New Zealand. After this, he surprised everyone by saying goodbye to international cricket on August 15, 2020.

He is also known as Captain Cool. He has also been the world's top match finisher. The helicopter shot in international cricket is also Mahi's gift. While playing for Team India, he has single-handedly turned the tables of the match many times.
