Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni and ex-all-rounder Yuvraj Singh's friendship is not something that has been hidden but some section of fans still think that there was a tussle between the duo during their playing days.
Dhoni, who celebrated his 41st birthday on Wednesday received warm wishes from across the cricket fraternity.
However, he did also receive from a certain section of fans on the Koo app who claimed that Dhoni, who has international 829 dismissals, ended Yuvraj's career.
While Yuvraj called off his career in 2019, Dhoni announced his retirement on August 15, 2021.
One of the most admired and respected cricketers, Dhoni is also among the most successful captains in world cricket. It was under his leadership that India lifted the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011 after having led India to triumph in the ICC World T20 in its maiden edition of the tournament held in 2007 in South Africa.
With India winning the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013 in England, Dhoni became the first and is still the only captain till date to have won all three ICC Trophies.
Dhoni, who made his debut in international cricket in 2004, went on to play 350 ODIs, in addition to 90 Tests and 98 T20Is, and became one of the most successful Indian captains, leading the side to 178 wins across formats.
all-rounder in 2011, he ended a 28-year wait for India by lifting the ICC Men's Cripercentagecket World Cup trophy, becoming only the second Indian captain after Kapil Dev to do so. Two years later, he completed an unprecedented treble, captaining India to the 2013 Champions Trophy title in England.
In January 2017, he quit captaincy from both ODIs and T20Is, even as he continued to be India's first-choice wicket-keeper in limited-overs cricket, right up until the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, which turned out to be his fourth and final edition.
Born in Ranchi, Dhoni debuted for India in December 2004 during the ODI leg of their Bangladesh tour as a wicket-keeper batsman. In only his fifth ODI, he cracked his maiden ton, a blazing 148 against Pakistan at No.3, exhibiting a carefree, aggressive batting style, a feature that remained his trademark for the next 10 years.
The very same year, his career-best unbeaten 183 against Sri Lanka enhanced his big-hitting reputation win percentage and continues to be the highest score by a wicket-keeper batsman in ODIs. By the turn of the decade, Dhoni added more layers to his game, developing into a middle-order orchestrator and spearheading chases to further enhance his ODI reputation. He joined the 10,000-run club in ODIs last year, one of only five Indians to do so.
In all, he captained India in 200 ODIs, maintaining a win percentage-all-rounder of 59.52. Apart from the three ICC titles, Dhoni's other notable wins included a historic ODI tri-series win on Australian soil in 200, as well as the Asia Cup wins of 2010 and 2016.
