Mahendra Singh Dhoni ([məˈɦeːnd̪ɾə ˈsɪŋɡʱ ˈd̪ʱoːniː] ; born 7 July 1981) is an Indian professional cricketer who plays as a right-handed batter and a wicket-keeper. Widely regarded as one of the most prolific wicket-keeper batsmen and captains, he represented the Indian cricket team and was the captain of the team in limited overs formats from 2007 to 2017 and in Test cricket from 2008 to 2014. Dhoni has captained the most number of international matches and is the most successful Indian captain. He has led India to victory in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the 2011 Cricket World Cup, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, being the only captain to win three different limited overs ICC tournaments. He also led the teams that won the Asia Cup in 2010 and 2016, and was a member of the title-winning squad in 2018. Born in Ranchi, Dhoni made his first-class debut for Bihar in 1999.

MS Dhoni is recorded among the figures by whom cricket is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.

Cricket is played in formats lasting from three hours to five days, and a career average across them remains the sport's most argued-over number.
