Bio

Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain of the Indian cricket team in the ODI and Twenty20 formats from 2007 to 2016 and in the test cricket format from 2008 to 2014. He also led Chennai Super Kings to win the Indian Premier League thrice and the Cricket League Twenty20 twice. Dhoni is an aggressive right-handed wicket-keeper batsman and has established himself as the greatest finisher of limited-overs cricket. He is among the best wicket-keepers in international cricket. He is a mighty hitter of the ball and an extraordinary runner on the crease. Because of his explosive style of batting in the final moments of a match, he is famed as "The Finisher."

Dhoni was born into a lower-middle-class family, and his father Pan Singh worked in junior management positions in MECON Ltd. Ranchi. His presence of mind on the field is unmatched. He is quickest in stumping and holds a world record of 150 stumpings by a wicket-keeper. As a captain, Dhoni has played the most number of international matches and has hit the most international sixes. He is the only wicket-keeper to bowl 9 times in international cricket. He has the boldness to play his trademark “helicopter shot” against the leather ball. Moreover, Dhoni is the only captain in world cricket to win all the three ICC trophies: ODI World Cup, Twenty20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy.
