MS Dhoni is well-known for his astute captaincy, wicketkeeping, batting traits, swift stumping, quick running between the wickets, last ball six, helicopter shots, ICC trophies, etc. His contribution to Indian cricket is so good that it cannot be put into words.
MS Dhoni has 3 ICC trophies as a captain – ICC World Cup 2007, ICC World Cup 2011 and ICC Champions Trophy 2013, the only captain in the sport’s history to do so. Even after giving up international captaincy on January 4, 2017, he still contributed to the team as a wicketkeeper-batsman.
Dhoni’s last ever international appearance came against New Zealand in the ICC World Cup 2019 semi-final. He retired from all forms of international cricket on August 15, 2020. The news was confirmed by MS Dhoni himself through an Instagram post. MS Dhoni has represented India in 90 Tests, 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is.
The down-to-earth personality is a massive inspiration to all cricket followers. MS Dhoni bid adieu to international cricket in late August 15, 2020. Since then, he has been actively applying his skills and expressing himself in the Indian Premier League.
Under his captaincy, Chennai Super Kings have won as many as five IPL titles, the joint-most by any team in the history of the tournament. CSK recently defeated Gujarat Titans by five wickets (DLS Method).

Meanwhile, Anand Mahindra’s tweet on MS Dhoni has been doing the rounds on social media. “Like most people, I was pleased to hear that #MSDhoni might stay on for another year in the #IPL. But I would not hope for longer, since I believe he needs to consider the political arena. I worked with him on the NCC review panel chaired by @PandaJay & saw that his intellectual agility matches his agility on the sportsfield. He was collaborative, humble & yet assertive in making innovative inputs. He is an obvious future leader…”
