Mahendra Singh Dhoni, popularly known as MS Dhoni or Mahi, made his test debut five years ago in 2005 but has already been rated as one of the most successful captains in the history of Indian cricket and a stylish and explosive batsman at any batting position.
The wicketkeeper batsman, born on 7th July 1981 at Ranchi, has already topped the list of world’s top 10 earning cricketers compiled by Forbes and his captaincy skills were appreciated by all when he led Indian to emphatic victories in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, CB Series of 2007–08, and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2008. Dhoni also led Chennai Super Kings to a win in the IPL3 final against Mumbai Indians led by Sachin Tendulkar.
