Rishabh Pant wished former India captain MS Dhoni a happy birthday by cutting a cake in celebration while rehabbing from the injuries at the NCA he sustained in his car accident. The legendary cricketer turned 42 on July 7, 2023.
MS Dhoni remains the only captain to win all three white-ball ICC trophies in the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007, the ICC World Cup in 2011, and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. He also led the Indian team to no 1. ranking in Tests for the first time.
Apart from this, MS Dhoni has also won a record-equaling five IPL trophies for Chennai Super Kings and holds the record for most stumpings in ODI cricket.
After accumulating many more accolades in his glittering career, MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020. However, he has continued to play in the IPL, recently winning the IPL 2023 trophy.
