On Saturday, ICC had shared a video celebrating the legend of Dhoni. “MS Dhoni – not just a name!” read the video message with snippets of the unforgettable 2011 World Cup winning six against Sri Lanka the highlight.
Dhoni is the most experienced player in India’s World Cup squad and is still considered to be an integral part of the Virat Kohli-led side. Probably playing in his last 50-over World Cup, Dhoni has been criticised on a number of occasions in the ongoing tournament for his batting approach.
He is the only international captain to have won an ICC 50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy. He even led India to the number one ranking in both Test and ODI formats.
