MS Dhoni's list of achievements is staggering. He is the only captain to win three ICC limited-overs tournaments, a feat that places him above every other captain in cricket history. His 183 not out against Sri Lanka in 2005 stood as the highest ODI score by a wicket-keeper for years. He led India to the top of the Test rankings for the first time in 2009. In the IPL, he has won five titles with CSK, tying with Rohit Sharma for the most by a captain. His induction into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2025 cements his place among the all-time greats.
