India's former captain, MS Dhoni, is now a member of the ICC Hall of Fame.

In a momentous occasion, Indian cricket icon and former captain, MS Dhoni, has been inducted into the prestigious ICC Hall of Fame. This latest accolade serves as yet another shining achievement in the illustrious career of the legendary wicketkeeper-batter. Alongside six other greats, including Matthew Hayden and Hashim Amla, Dhoni was honored by the International Cricket Council on Monday.

His induction into the ICC Hall of Fame is a testament to his unparalleled skills, calmness under pressure, and strategic prowess. Dhoni's impact on the game has been revolutionary, particularly in the shorter formats. With 17,266 runs, 829 dismissals, and 538 matches played for India across all formats, Dhoni's numbers not only reflect his excellence, but also his extraordinary consistency, fitness, and longevity.

The ICC recognized Dhoni for his remarkable achievements, including leading India to victory in three major ICC tournaments: the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy. His leadership, composure, and innovative approach to the game have left an indelible mark on the world of cricket.

Dhoni's legacy in ODI cricket is filled with numerous records, such as the most stumpings in the format, the highest individual score by a wicketkeeper, and the most matches as captain for India. However, the pinnacle of his career came in 2011, when he led India to their first World Cup win in 28 years.

Upon receiving this prestigious honor, Dhoni expressed his heartfelt gratitude, stating, "It is an honor to be named in the ICC Hall of Fame, which recognizes the contributions of cricketers across generations and from all over the world. To have your name remembered alongside such all-time greats is a wonderful feeling. It is something that I will cherish forever."

Despite retiring from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni's influence and impact on the sport continue to be felt. He still plays for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and now, with his induction into the ICC Hall of Fame, he will forever be etched into the annals of cricketing immortality.
