Legendary India cricketer and one of the nation's finest-ever captains across formats, MS Dhoni, on Sunday turned 43.
MS Dhoni, a name synonymous with calmness in world cricket since he made his debut in 2004 for India, is celberating his 43rd birthday on Sunday.
Recalling his interaction with Gambhir during his first full Test series for India in 2012, Ashwin revealed that the opening batter was one of the very few from outside his home state of Tamil Nadu to give him a lot of confidence as a new-comer.
Thursday’s washout in Hyderabad meant that Sunrisers Hyderabad joined Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals as the three confirmed teams for the playoffs and the race is now for only one spot with two teams in fray -- CSK and RCB.
Asked about the feat at the toss, Dhoni said that he was unaware until the commentator pointed it out.
"I think throughout my career there's one thing that's for sure -- it was the fact that there was a lot of pressure whenever I played games.
PM Modi wrote an official letter to MS Dhoni and hailed him for his achievements and the laurels that he won for the country during his 16-years long illustrious career.
In a video shared by the BCCI on their Twitter handle on Monday, Mithali praised Dhoni, saying, "He literally walks the talk. He is a dream for every small town boy who aspires to play for the country and achieve it all."
Dhoni remains the only captain in the world to lead his team to all three ICC titles - 2007 World T20 (now T20 World Cup), 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.
