MS Dhoni’s incredible cricket career just got a new chapter. The International Cricket Council announced he’s one of seven cricketers being honored this year.
He’s in great company with legends like Matthew Hayden and Hashim Amla.
Dhoni said, “Being named in the ICC Hall of Fame is an honor. It recognizes the contributions of cricketers across different generations. Seeing my name alongside all-time greats is an amazing feeling. I’ll always treasure this.”
Dhoni is known for his ability to keep calm under pressure and his exceptional skill. He’s one of the greatest finishers, leaders, and wicketkeepers in the game.
The ICC noted his impressive stats: 17,266 international runs, 829 wickets, and 538 matches for India.
These numbers show not just excellence, but also remarkable consistency and fitness.
Dhoni led India to three major ICC titles: the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy.
His ODI legacy includes many records, such as the most stumpings, the highest individual score by a wicketkeeper, and the most matches as India’s captain.
But the highlight of his career came in 2011 when he helped India win the World Cup after a 28-year wait.
