MS Dhoni, one of India's finest captains as well as Chennai Super Kings legend, celebrated his 39th birthday on July 7, 2020. As MS Dhoni turned 39 on Tuesday, social media was flooded with birthday wishes with people from all walks wishing the former India captain on his special day. However, among all this, there was a special wish for Dhoni -- the one from his wife Sakshi.
MS Dhoni has been a mainstay not only in the national team but also the IPL franchise. MS Dhoni made his debut in the inaugural IPL 2008 tournament with Chennai Super Kings and has been with the team ever since (barring the two-year-ban received). Dhoni also led CSK to the IPL title in 2010 and 2011 as well as the Champions League T20 title in 2010 and 2014.

Talking about MS Dhoni on the show 'Dhoni Vazhi Thani Vazhi' on Star Sports 1 Tamil, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said, "Only one thing I knew that he's able to get the best out of the team by himself. He's able to get the best out of any member of the team. That's why we'd call him Thala. In 10 years from now, my feeling is that he'll be a permanent fixture in Chennai as the Chennai Super Kings boss."
