MS Dhoni was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame Class of 2025 on June 9, 2025. This induction honors MS Dhoni's history as one of the game's best finishers, leaders, and wicketkeepers.
He is renowned for his composure under duress and unparalleled tactical understanding, but he was also a pioneer in the shorter formats.
With 17,266 international runs, 829 wickets, and 538 games in all formats for India, Dhoni's stats demonstrate not only his brilliance but also his exceptional longevity, consistency, and fitness.
Additionally, he is still the only skipper to win all the three ICC white-ball trophies in the Champions Trophy in 2013, the World Cup in 2011, and the T20 World Cup in 2007. He also became the 11th Indian cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.
