‘See you…’ – Star India allrounder Ravindra Jadeja drops massive hint on MS Dhoni’s future plans on his 42nd birthday
Wishes poured out for legendary former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as he celebrates his 42nd birthday today. From Ravindra Jadeja to Suresh Raina, everyone wished him health and happiness in his life. Jadeja also hinted at his future plans for the Indian Premier League. Dhoni, who led the Chennai Super Kings to a record fifth title in the recently concluded season, could be seen in yellow next year too.
Jadeja, in his birthday wish, said, “My go-to man since 2009 to date and forever. I wish you a very happy birthday, I wish you very happy birthday, ma’am. See you soon in yellow #respect”. Notably, after a two-month stint with CSK, Dhoni underwent knee surgery in Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital. He is currently rehabbing in Ranchi and would be looking to make a comeback on the field for his fans one more time.
Throughout his illustrious journey, Dhoni has been nothing short of phenomenal. His retirement from international cricket in 2020 marked the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy that will forever be cherished by fans around the world.
In one-day internationals (ODIs), Dhoni’s statistics speak volumes. With 350 matches played, he amassed a remarkable 10,773 runs, including 10 centuries and 73 half-centuries, at an impressive average of 50.57. Notably, he holds the record for the most not-outs in ODIs, standing unbeaten on 84 occasions.
Dhoni instilled pride and Joy in millions of hearts
In Test cricket, Dhoni’s contribution was equally noteworthy. In his 90 Test matches, he scored 4,876 runs, comprising 6 centuries and 33 half-centuries, at an average of 38.09. His retirement from Test cricket in Australia in 2014 marked the end of an era for Indian cricket.
Dhoni’s leadership was truly exceptional. Under his captaincy, India achieved remarkable milestones, including winning two World Cups in the span of four years. He led the team to victories in the 2007 World Twenty20 and the 2011 Cricket World Cup, instilling a sense of pride and joy in the hearts of millions of fans.
Notably, Dhoni holds the distinction of being the only captain in cricket history to have won all the multi-national trophies. This exceptional feat exemplifies his ability to excel on the grandest stages and bring glory to the nation.
