‘The Sun God has 7 horses to pull his heavenly chariot’ – Cricketing fraternity pour wishes for MS Dhoni on his 42nd birthday
Former India skipper MS Dhoni has turned 42 years old today. He has been wished by the cricket fraternity. Dhoni has achieved a lot for India and Chennai Super Kings in IPL and now-defunct Champions League T20. For the Men In Blue, he led the team to title wins in T20 World Cup 2007, ODI World Cup 2011, and Champions Trophy 2013.
For his IPL team, Dhoni led them to five titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. Apart from this, the team won the CLT20 in 2010 and 2014. The right-hander retired from international cricket on 15 August 2020 alongside Suresh Raina. Since then, he has been playing only in IPL cricket. Meanwhile, let’s have a look at the wishes of the cricket fraternity.

MS Dhoni might play in IPL 2024
The wicketkeeper was rumored to get retired from the game after the IPL 2023. However, after winning the title, Dhoni said that he wants to play in the next year’s tournament. He said his participation in the tournament will depend on his fitness.
“Looking for an answer? This is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over. The easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be working hard for 9 months and try to play another IPL. It would be a gift from me, won’t be easy on the body,” Dhoni told broadcasters moments before he joined his teammates to collect the IPL trophy.
Notably, the 42-year-old was playing with a knee injury. He went through aa successful knee surgery in Mumbai last month.
“Yes, Dhoni has had a successful knee surgery at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai on Thursday. He is doing fine and the surgery happened in the morning. I don’t have details. I am yet to get all the details about the nature of surgery and other things,” CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan confirmed to PTI.
