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.

His ability to finish matches with his trademark sixes has made him an iconic figure in the sport.
