From current Team India skipper Virat Kohli to Mr IPL Suresh Raina, the Indian cricket fraternity united to wish ‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni as he turned 39 on Tuesday (July 07).
Dhoni has led India to a lot of memorable victories, including the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and the 2008 CB series victory. MSD has captained the Indian cricket team in 332 international matches, winning 178 games.
The “Ice-Cool” Dhoni, who is regarded as one of the best wicket-keepers in the world, was showered with birthday wishes by his fans and admirers on social media from last evening itself.
“Happy b’day Mahi bhai. Wish you good health and happiness always. God bless you,” tweeted Virat.

Top class keeper. The best finisher this game has seen. Above all, a captain who led from the front & through his own conduct gave his team a deep rooted confidence that they could win on the big night. A true Indian great!
