PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY - MS Dhoni
Honestly, Dhoni would not need a CV to prove anything. But if he did, it’d probably say — MS Dhoni: The man who kept calm when the whole nation lost theirs. A cricketing genius with a bat that speaks louder than words and gloves that catch everything but the spotlight. World Cup champ, master strategist, and mentor to future legends — all while casually pulling off that legendary helicopter shot and making brand endorsements look easy. (X/@msdfansofficial)
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS - MS Dhoni
If you ever wondered how MS Dhoni’s CV would read in the corporate world, it would proudly showcase 179 international wins as captain — an unparalleled record for India. This includes leading in 90 Tests, 350 ODIs, and 98 T20Is. Under his leadership, India clinched the T20 World Cup, the 50-over World Cup, and the Champions Trophy. On the domestic front, he boasts five IPL titles and two Champions League T20 trophies. Renowned for his tactical brilliance, calm demeanor, and exceptional decision-making under pressure, Dhoni’s leadership stands as a masterclass in winning. (X/@Surendra21286)
Jersey No 7 - MS Dhoni
Wearing the iconic number 7 jersey, which has become synonymous with his legacy, MS Dhoni led India to victory in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy in England. This triumph cemented his status as the only Indian captain to have won all three major ICC titles — a feat unmatched by any other Indian skipper to date. The Champions Trophy win further solidified Dhoni’s extraordinary record as the only captain to have claimed every major cricketing title, including the IPL and the Champions League T20, which he lifted in 2010 and 2014.

Landmark Victory - MS Dhoni
After winning the T20 World Cup title for India in 2007 and the IPL for CSK a couple of years later, Dhoni won the ICC 50-over World Cup in 2011 in India. This was an iconic moment in Indian cricket, having last won the limited-overs World Cup in 1983, under Kapil Dev. The event stood as a poignant swansong for Sachin Tendulkar in ICC tournaments, marking the graceful culmination of an illustrious chapter in cricket history. (X/ICC)
IPL Triumphs & Enduring Legacy with CSK
After winning the T20 World Cup for India in 2007, Dhoni won the Indian Premier League for Chennai Super Kings in 2010. This was his first IPL title. He went on to win four more IPL titles playing for CSK, and is currently the oldest player to be competing in the league. Whether or not he will play the next year's IPL remains to be seen.

Against All Odds: First ICC Title
MS Dhoni became the captain of India's T20 side in 2007 and, against all odds, won the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in the same year. With the likes of Tendulkar, Dravid, and Ganguly opting out of the World T20, Dhoni had a relatively young team. This was his first ICC title - the beginning of many more to come. In a way, it laid the foundation of what was in store. (X/ICC)
