Former India captain and winner of all the three ICC trophies, MS Dhoni is celebrating his 39th birthday today. Dhoni, who made his debut in 2004, played his last international match to date in the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand in the semis.
He was supposed to return to action with the IPL 2020 to stake a claim in the Indian team for the ICC T20 World Cup, but Coronavirus pandemic has put a spanner in the plans for both the tournaments. Hence Dhoni has been spending time with wife Sakshi, daughter Ziva, and his family at his Ranchi farmhouse.
