Dhoni has won all major cricketing accolades that one can achieve during their playing stint. He is the only international captain to have won ICC 50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy.
He even led India to the number one ranking in both Test and ODI formats.
He walked away with the Indian Premier League (IPL) title thrice with Chennai Super Kings. The player now hopes of winning another World Cup as the Indian team has progressed to the semi-finals of the ongoing tournament.
The team takes on New Zealand in the semi-final on July 9.
