Famously regarded as Indian cricket’s biggest enigma, MS Dhoni will always be looked up as someone with the ability to address the most pressured situations in an uncluttered manner. Besides, when you observe him, you get the feeling that he does not buy into his own adulation. (Pic: AFP)

MS Dhoni has won all 3 ICC Trophies, including World T20 in 2007, One Day World Cup in 2011, and Champions Trophy in 2013, which no other Indian captain in the history of cricket has achieved before
Dhoni is fast as light.
The legendary wicket-keeper batter once took only 0.08 seconds, breaking his own record of 0.09 seconds to stump West Indies batsman Keemo Paul back in 2018.
In 538 international matches, Dhoni has 195 stumpings to his name. Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara is next on the tally with 139 stumpings. This is one such record of Dhoni, which is likely to remain untouched for years.
After 42 innings, MS Dhoni had reached the numero uno position in the ICC Men’s ODI rankings. He became the fastest player to achieve the milestone, eclipsing the legendary Australia captain Ricky Ponting.
MS Dhoni led India in 200 ODIs, 60 Tests and 72 T20Is before hanging his boots in 2020. He led India in a total of 332 international matches, which is the most by any captain in the world. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting stands second in the list with 324 international matches.
