Dhoni fulfilled the dreams of every Indian by fetching the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the 2011 Cricket World Cup, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. The wicketkeeper-batsman has played a crucial part in leading India to victory with his finishing shots. Under his captaincy, team India has won several matches and in IPL, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has won the trophy four times. Even in the current season, CSK nearly pulled off a heroic victory against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the match on Wednesday. It was the skipper Dhoni who remained unbeaten till the end.
