The former India skipper, MS Dhoni on Saturday, turned 37 and warm birthday wishes poured in for him not just from the cricket fraternity but also from the fans all around the world.
Dhoni, who made his international debut in 2004 in an ODI against Bangladesh, has so far played 500 international matches. As a result, he became the third Indian cricketer after Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid to do so.
However, Team India were unable to give a victory gift to Dhoni, as they lost the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series against England at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. Dhoni contributed 32 runs (24 balls) in India’s 148 which England chase down with five wickets in hand.
He is the only captain in the history to win three ICC titles. He won the ICC World T20 in 2007, the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011. To add to it, he won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.
Furthermore, Dhoni celebrated his birthday after the match with his wife and daughter. His team India colleagues also joined in to celebrate this special day. Moreover, Bollywood actress and Virat Kohli’s wife Anush Sharma was also present during the celebration.
Meanwhile, wishes poured from all spheres of the world for this legendary cricketer.
Apart from his fans and colleagues, several celebrities longed for his success and wished him on his birthday.
Here is how the celebrities wished Dhoni on his birthday:
