Regarded as the greatest captain in Indian cricket history, MS Dhoni is still a regular fixture in the IPL, and is set to represent Chennai Super Kings once again in the upcoming season. During his international career, he led India to victories in the 2007 World T20, 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy. He also oversaw victories at the Asian Cup in 2010, 2016, and was a part of the title-winning squad in 2018.

The man I met in 2004 is still the same, when I sit and talk with him, the level of friendship is different”, he added.
