Dhoni, who has more than 17000 international runs and is the only captain to win all three ICC white-ball tournaments, felt honoured as the ICC recognised the contributions of the cricketers through its Hall of Fame programme, launched in 2009.

Dhoni is arguably the best to have led Team India on the cricket field. He is widely respected, not just for his on-field abilities, but also for the humble human being he is. The 43-year-old continues to feature in the Indian Premier League for the Chennai Super Kings. Unfortunately, the yellow army had a 2025 season to forget at the cash-rich tournament. Speculations are rife over whether Dhoni will feature in IPL 2026 or not. Dhoni has personally not ruled the possibility out.
