A modest player initially who turned to become the Indian skipper and a icon in India and the world, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has turned to be 31 today. He has reached the highest echelons in terms of captaincy with his skill, dedication, charisma and hardwork. There have been many criticisms on his strategies but all of them had gone into the darkness after he achieved the much awaited world cup for the country.  He has revived the former status of the team, making India proud in the cricketing world. The Ranchi lad had played a key role in the Indian Team since the beginning.

He has not only reached the zenith in the field but also had established a position for himself which in itself was a slapstick answer to the acrid criticism he was faced with during his reign as a captain.
The first match he played against Bangladesh in 2004/05 was a mishap but it didn't dishearten him. Rather he was more determined in the matches to come. India needed a batsman who could be an able wicketkeeper and MSD proved to be the right answer with his merciless butchering and a quick arms behind the stumps. He had nothing but accolades for many days and was finally declared the best member to lead the team and this was when MS Dhoni transformed into Captain MS Dhoni.
He could tackle defeats as well as victories with the same cool state of mind which have earned him the sobriquet captain cool. Behind every successful man is a woman and there is one in his story too. Mrs. Sakhsi Dhoni was married to MS Dhoni on 4th July a couple of years ago, sharing his successes and victories. With warm regards to the skipper Dhoni, may he lead India to heights the country has never witnessed
