Ms Dhoni’s Work Front

As for Dhoni, this teaser arrives shortly after he was honoured with induction into the ICC Hall of Fame in June this year. He became the 11th Indian cricketer to be given the prestigious recognition. From leading India to its first T20 World Cup win in 2007, to clinching the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy, Dhoni remains the only captain in cricket history to lift all three ICC white-ball trophies. Beyond his captaincy, Dhoni also cemented himself as one of cricket’s finest finishers. His iconic 183* against Sri Lanka in 2005 is still the highest ODI score by a wicketkeeper. With over 10,000 runs in ODIs at an average above 50, his batting legacy is as celebrated as his leadership.
