Legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni is celebrating his 42nd birthday on Friday and wishes are pouring in for the former India skipper, fondly called โ€˜Captain Coolโ€™. Dhoni has a huge fan base across the globe and on his 42nd birthday, fans have flooded Twitter with their sweet wishes. The Ranchi-based player is the only skipper in cricket’s history to have won all three ICC titles including the ODI World Cup, the T20 World Cup, and the Champions Trophy. Apart from that, he has also guided Chennai Super Kings to five IPL titles as well.

Back in 2001 against Bangladesh, Dhoni made his ODI debut and got out on a golden duck. Despite not getting a wholesome start to his international career, Dhoni ended up makingย  10773 ODI runs at 50.57, courtesy of 10 centuries and 73 half-centuries.ย  His highest ODI score of unbeaten 183 runs came against Sri Lanka in Jaipur which also happens to be the highest score by a wicket-keeper in the history of 50-over cricket. Before announcing his retirement from Test cricket in 2014, he scored 4876 test runs, courtesy of six centuries. He also has 829 dismissals as a wicket-keeper under his belt, which is the 3rd highest after Mark Boucher and Adam Gilchrist.
