Dhoni belonged to a middle-class family in Ranchi and his journey to becoming a legend is certainly a great inspiration for many cricketers. The dasher is a force to reckon with both in front and behind the stumps and his captaincy tactics have baffled many oppositions. In fact, Dhoni is the only captain to have lifted the T20 World Cup, 50-Over World Cup and Champions Trophy in the history of the game.
In 2017, Dhoni stepped down as a captain but continued to serve as a player. However, he took a long sabbatical from cricket post India's heart-breaking loss in the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup. He was expected to get back in action during the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he leads Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
