MS Dhoni has been enjoying a successful career for eleven years. Nobody can forget his debut in long manes against Bangladesh in 2004. Since then, Dhoni has becaome the only captain to have won ICC World Twenty20 (2007), The ICC Cricket World Cup (2011), and Champions Trophy (2013).
Dhoni is known for risky but clever decisions. He gave last over to Joginder Sharma in the final match against Pakistan in the 2007 World Twety20. We know how that went! Then later, in the final of 2011 ODI World Cup against Sri Lanka, he moved up the batting order and secured the win with Yuvraj Singh. And how he secured? By knocking it out of stadium. This is something he is known for, big hits and complete dramatic finish.
Last year has been eventful for Dhoni, He announced his retirement from Test cricket form. But the best thing happened to him was getting the title of a father when wife Sakshi gave birth to their daughter Ziva. Dhoni was not present at the birth of his daughter due to the World Cup being just a week away. But since then, he has made up more time than he missed. He recently celebrated his wedding anniversary with wife Sakshi Dhoni.
