Former India captain and current CSK skipper MS Dhoni turned 42 on July 7, 2023. And wishes have been pouring in from all corners for the only international captain to have won all three ICC white-ball trophies – ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy; in addition to this Mahendra Singh Dhoni also launched India to the number 1 Test ranking in 2009/10.
More recently, MS Dhoni and CSK equaled Rohit Sharma and Mumbai Indians’ tally of five IPL titles while playing 2 fewer seasons than their El Clasico rivals.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been the heartbeat of the fans for a long time, more so since his international retirement as that limited him to only IPL appearances. And while every year, there is speculation that that year’s IPL season would be his last, the Ranchi-born turns up again next year to unfurl his magic. There was a strong feeling that the IPL 2023 will be last IPL season – especially as CSK returned to Chennai to play their home matches and even won the title – but Mahendra Singh Dhoni remained mostly mum about it and then underwent a knee surgery – with which he battled throughout the season – and is likely to turn up for IPL 2024.
Harsha Bhogle’s tweet for 42-year-old MS Dhoni goes viral
Commentator Harsha and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have shared some memorable, warm, even funny moments in post-match presentations over the year. And Bhogle has always said how astounded he’s by Dhoni’s feet-to-the-ground attitude and character.
On Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s 42nd birthday, Harsha Bhogle wrote a special tweet, wherein he pointed out Dhoni’s simplicity saying that while the world celebrates his birthday he’s not someone who will make a noise about it.
“From the little I know of him, very little actually, MS Dhoni will let his birthday pass by gently while everyone else will get excited by it,” Harsha Bhogle tweeted.
