Entering his 37th year in the backdrop of India's defeat to England in the second T20 International wasn't ideal for a man who is often credited with redefining limited overs cricket.
It wasn't the kind of birthday celebration befitting one of India's finest captains, but that's how Dhoni has always been - quite and simple.
His teammates - past and present - joined in the party as wishes poured in from across the cricket world.
Earlier, Former Indian batsman V. V. S. Laxman also extended birthday wish to the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup-winning captain, saying, ?Wishing you a very happy birthday @msdhoni .May you continue to entertain ,inspire and provide joy. #HappyBirthdayMSDhoni”
Posting a picture of Dhoni at full stretch trying to avoid a stumping, former opener Virender Sehwag tweeted,”#HappyBirthdayMSDhoni. May your life be longer than this stretch and may you find happiness in everything, faster than your stumpings. Om Finishaya Namaha !”
Left-arm pacer R. P. Singh listed out Dhoni’s achievements in his birthday wish, saying Dhoni was one of India’s greatest captains.
“2 World Cups, 1 Champions Trophy, 3 IPL Titles and the list just goes on. Happy Birthday to one of India's greatest captains, @msdhoni! #HappyBirthdayMSDhoni, “he tweeted.
