MS Dhoni's ODI Debut and Legacy: A Look Back at His Career MilestonesPreviousNext

MS Dhoni, who debuted in ODIs in 2004 under Sourav Ganguly, is the only active player from that initial squad. He retired from international cricket in 2020, concluding a career as India's most successful captain, leading the team to three ICC trophies, including the 2007 T20 World Cup. Despite an initial struggle, Dhoni became a dominant force and continues to play in the IPL at age 44.
