In his illustrious career, Dhoni has played 350 ODIs so far and he scored his highest score of 183 against Sri Lanka. He also holds the record of becoming the only skipper to win all major ICC trophies (50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy).

In December 2014, MS decided to call it quits on his Test career and it provided a great opportunity for someone like Wriddhiman Saha. Dhoni hanged his boots from Test cricket after playing 90 Tests in which he amassed 4,876 runs at an average of 38.09. Then in 2017, he decided to give the captaincy reins to Virat Kohli in the limited-overs cricket.
On Dhoni’s birthday, a lot of his former and current teammates left no stone unturned in coming up with birthday greetings for Mahi. The players like Virender Sehwag and Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Suresh Raina, Kuldeep Yadav, and VVS Laxman were among the first to wish Dhoni on his special day.
