The cricket legend MS Dhoni has made a nostalgic return to Mumbai, where he etched his name into the annals of cricketing history. At the headquarters of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Dhoni posed with the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy, stirring up memories of India’s glorious victory in 2011.

On April 2, 2011, Dhoni’s towering six at the Wankhede Stadium secured India’s triumph over Sri Lanka, bringing home the coveted Cricket World Cup after 28 years. This moment remains etched in the hearts of millions of Indians as one of the most cherished memories. Despite India’s recent struggles in ICC tournaments, Dhoni’s leadership during the 2011 World Cup has only grown in significance.

Dhoni’s legacy extends beyond the World Cup triumph. He stands as the only captain to have led India to victories in all major ICC tournaments, including the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007 and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. Moreover, he propelled India to the number-one ranking in Test cricket in 2009.

Dhoni sets a remark

In addition to his international achievements, Dhoni has left an indelible mark on T20 franchise cricket. As the captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he led the team to five Indian Premier League (IPL) titles and two Champions League T20 (CLT20) triumphs. Although he has passed on the captaincy reins in the current IPL season to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dhoni’s influence on CSK’s success remains palpable.

With 17,266 international runs across formats and a remarkable tally of centuries and fifties, Dhoni’s batting prowess has endeared him to cricket fans worldwide. His ability to finish matches with his trademark sixes has made him an iconic figure in the sport.
