Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2020, is widely regarded as one of India's most exceptional cricket captains. He remains the sole Indian skipper to have triumphed in all three major white-ball ICC tournaments: the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy.

Under Dhoni's leadership, India emerged victorious in 332 matches, marking the highest by any captain in international cricket. Among these, he secured 178 wins, encountered 120 losses, tied six games, and 15 matches ended in no result, boasting a win percentage of 53.61 as a captain.

Dhoni's last appearance for the Indian team was during the 2019 ICC World Cup semi-final against New Zealand in Manchester on July 10, 2019.

In the IPL 2023 season, Dhoni captained the Chennai Super Kings to their record-equalling fifth title, further adding to his remarkable cricketing legacy.
