Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was born on 7th July 1981 will celebrate his 39th birthday this year and as a growing community that adores the most decorated sportsman of this era, let’s revive some of Captain Cool’s greatest knocks and masterful decisions donning blue for Team India and yellow for Chennai Super Kings.
Mahi is an emotion that unites the country. You never know what Mahi is up to, but for the legion of fans that adore the former Team India captain, his absence away from the cricket field has only fuelled that chorus of support from fans who adore him as a giant among cricketers in the present era. Ever since making his ODI debut in 2004, MSD has tactfully shaped his career with plenty of thinking and behind that massive support lies a volume of performances which can never be erased from our memory.
So let’s start pouring wishes and shower some love for ‘Thala’ during his birthday week.
Happy birthday wishes to M S Dhoni, a true legend of the game; the greatest finisher of all time, and Captain Cool.
Have an excellent day and wish you a successful year ahead.
MSD has set the bar higher than ever as Captain and Player in the IPL.

Only Player to Have Captained His Coaches
CSK’s head coach Stephen Fleming, Batting coach Michael Hussey and Bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji. All these coaches played under Dhoni.
MS Dhoni came into the side as a long haired maverick who smashed every ball to the boundary. He was allocated the role of being the aggressive lower order batsman. But, seeing his transformation after he was appointed as the captain he stood out to be a calm and very calculated person. He is one player who plays much better under pressure and his on field instincts has made him the most respected player on & off the pitch. Thank you MS Dhoni for revolutionizing the Indian cricket when it needed the most. You’re a gem.
A name that changed the face of Indian cricket
