MS Dhoni Inducted into ICC Hall of Fame Alongside Cricket Legends

MS Dhoni’s legacy in international cricket is undeniable. The former Indian captain has been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, a testament to his unparalleled contributions to the sport. This prestigious honor comes just two days before the World Test Championship Final 2025.

Dhoni is not alone in this achievement – he’s joined by cricket legends Matthew Hayden, Graeme Smith, Daniel Vettori, and Hashim Amla. With this recognition, Dhoni becomes the 11th Indian cricketer to be included in the Hall of Fame.

Dhoni’s Captaincy Legacy

Known as “Captain Cool,” Dhoni is one of the most successful Indian captains. Under his leadership, India won three ICC trophies: the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy. Dhoni’s calm and composed demeanor on the field inspired his teammates and earned him a reputation as a skilled leader.

Dhoni made his international debut in 2004 against Bangladesh in an ODI match. Just three years later, he was appointed captain of the Indian team. Who can forget the 2007 T20 World Cup, where India, led by a young Dhoni, defeated Pakistan in the final, sending the entire nation into a frenzy? Dhoni also led India to Asia Cup victories in 2010 and 2016. He was awarded the ICC Player of the Year in 2008 and 2009, cementing his status as one of the greatest cricketers of all time.
