Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni celebrates his 38th birthday today. Dhoni made his international debut at the age of 23 against Bangladesh on December 23, 2004, and the rest is history
At some point during India’s World Cup game against Bangladesh last week, 21-year-old Rishabh Pant an upcoming wicketkeeper-batsman being hailed as a successor to MS Dhoni was hitting boundaries at will. At the other end was Dhoni himself - sedate, focused, soaking in the match, and an absolute contrast to Pant’s youthful exuberance.
Former India captain-turned commentator Sourav Ganguly, on air at the time, was fawning over Pant’s fluent batting. And then, he turned to his fellow commentator with a question: “How good was Dhoni at Pant’s age?”
The over ended; a commercial break followed. The question stayed unanswered.

World Cup. However, his journey so far in the World Cup hasn't been the way he would have wanted it to be.
Currently playing in his 4th World Cup, MS Dhoni has been continuously criticised for his lack of intent with the bat. Dhoni, who is considered one of the best finishers of the game, has been seen struggling to find boundaries and accelerate the run rate.
MS Dhoni's 28 off 52 balls against Afghanistan, one of the weaker teams in the tournament raised several concerns. Dhoni took some flak during India's failed run chase against England, when India suffered its loss in the tournament.
Despite recent lack of form, Mahendra Singh Dhoni will always be remembered as one of the best captains in the history of not just Indian cricket.
