MS Dhoni is the only captain to win all three ICC limited overs trophies.
Wishes started pouring in for the cricket legend from all corners. Be it the great Sachin Tendulkar or star player Rishabh Pant, many current and former cricketers took their time out to wish the Jharkhand player.
Meanwhile, the Dhoni fans too made his day special by celebrating his birthday in different ways.
Die-hard Dhonians in Andhra Pradesh erected a 77-foot-tall cutout of him in Nandigama and bathed that in milk. Some of his fans in Hyderabad also did the same with a 55-foot cutout.
