This year is also quite auspicious for the the former skipper has he led Chennai Super Kings to win the 11th edition of the Indian Premier League and has won it thrice. 

His performances have been often scrutinised due to his age, but his form and his work on-field for the team has assured him a ticket to the 2019 World Cup. 

On July 6 2018, a day before his birthday, Dhoni reached another milestone as he became the third Indian after Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid to play 500 International matches for India. 

Wishes poured in all across the globe for India's favourite cricketer and it is none other than former Team India opener, Virender Sehwag, who leads the way for 'Captain Cool' and as always, Sehwag's way of wishing people has been special. Take a look.
