Former Indian cricketer and iconic captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, also known as MS Dhoni, has been welcomed to the Hall of Fame by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday, June 9. Dhoni, who took India to three ICC trophies - T20 World Cup 2007, ODI World Cup 2011, and Champions Trophy 2013, has been recognized as a testament to his unerasable contributions to the international stage. Dhoni, who featured in 538 international matches, made his ODI debut against Bangladesh in Chattogram in 2004 and played his final international game in July 2019 against New Zealand in the World Cup semi-final at Manchester, where he was also India’s top scorer. The Ranchi-born on August 15, 2020, had made up his mind to hang up his boots from international cricket, in a career filled with unimaginable glory. In his inaugural international tournament as captain, Dhoni took India to the first-ever T20 World Cup in 2007, where they defeated Pakistan in a heart-stopping final to win the trophy.

A little more than two years after, the elder statesman wicketkeeper-batter then guided India to Champions Trophy 2013 victory, making him arguably the most successful skipper of cricket, not only for India, but globally. The function where he was officially inducted to ICC Hall of Fame was held in London on June 9 at 9:00 PM IST.
