MS Dhoni birthday – Virender Sehwag has penned down a heartfelt message for his former teammate and captain MS Dhoni on the occasion of the latter’s birthday.
Former India skipper MS Dhoni turned 41 on Thursday (July 7). The legendary wicketkeeper-batsman continues to be one of the biggest names in the game despite retiring from international cricket and playing only in the IPL.
Dhoni’s journey from a humble background to the pinnacle of cricket is an inspirational story for the ages. Dhoni, who worked as a TTE in Indian Railways before making his debut for Team India, retired from international cricket as one of India’s greatest cricketers.
He made his debut for Team India in 2004 before hanging up his boots in 2020. He also led the team for more than a decade and retired as one of the country’s most decorated captains of all time.

Under Dhoni’s captaincy, India won the inaugural edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007. 4 years later, he ended a 28-year wait for India by guiding the team to triumph in 50-over World Cup. In 2013, he completed an unprecedented treble when he led India to Champions Trophy glory in England. Dhoni is the only captain in the history of the game to have won all three major ICC tournaments.
Dhoni represented India in 350 ODIs and scored 10,773 ODI runs at 50.57 with 10 centuries. He also featured in 98 T20Is, scoring 1617 runs at 37.60. He was also an important member of India’s Test team for nearly a decade before retiring in 2014. The former India skipper scored 4876 runs at 38.09 in 90 Tests.
