WATCH! ICC Salutes Dhoni With Video; Fans Left Confused & Emotional
Home > News Shots > Sports newsFans are excited as everyone's favourite Indian wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni, will be celebrating his 38th birthday on July 7. But just a day before his birthday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday tweeted a video of him and called him a person who changed the face of Indian cricket.
Dhoni, who has won every major ICC tournament for the country and is still contributing to the team's success, has left fans confused, emotional and scared after the video went viral.
Taking to Twitter, ICC wrote, "A name that changed the face of Indian cricket. A name inspiring millions across the globe. A name with an undeniable legacy. MS Dhoni - not just a name!#CWC19 | #TeamIndia."
According to NDTV spots report, Dhoni is the only international captain to have won the ICC 50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy. He even led India to the number one ranking in both Test and ODI formats. He has won the Indian Premier League (IPL) title thrice with Chennai Super Kings.
The tribute clip has been tweeted by ICC, Indian Captain Virat Kohli and bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who are seen recalling how Dhoni influenced their cricketing skills. "What you see from the outside is very different from how things happen within a person. He's always calm and composed, there's so much to learn from him. He was my captain and he will always be my captain. Our understanding has always been brilliant. I am always up for listening to his advice," Kohli said.
"When I came to the team in 2016, he was the captain. He's a calming influence on the team and he's always there to help," Bumrah said.
At the World Cup 2019, Dhoni has 223 runs in the tournament and is hoped to spring a good performance with the bat against Sri Lanka. Watch Video Below:
