Mahendra Singh Dhoni Complete Bio & Career

This great Indian Cricketer ruled the Indian team as a captain for a long period in limited overs format between 2007 and 2016 and in Test Cricket between 2008 and 2014.

However, his ODI debut match was against Bangladesh in the year 2004 and played his debut test match in the consecutive year.

As a matter of fact, Dhoni is the first captain who has won 3 ICC limited-overs trophies and he ultimately tends to break the record. In his captaincy, the Indian team had reached the position number 1 in the ICC test rankings in 2009. He finally decided to hand on the captaincy baton to Virat Kohli in 2017 as he decided to play only as a player. He is as fit as ever and Indian team will be relying heavily on his experience to bring home the World Cup in 2019.
