00:00The last time Mahendra Singh Dhoni walked in with a bat in hand for India was almost a year ago.
00:06But as he turned 39 on Tuesday, the entire cricket fraternity thronged to social media
00:12to extend their warm wishes to the former Indian captain, still known as Captain Kool, for his calm demeanour.
00:18Regarded as one of the most successful skippers in the history of Indian cricket,
00:22Dhoni has been on a sabbatical ever since the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup where India lost to New Zealand.
00:29There have been endless conversations about his return or future retirement,
00:33still making him one of the most talked about cricketers in the present era.
00:37Dhoni is the only international captain to have won an ICC 50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy.
00:45He even led India to the number one ranking in both Test and One Day International formats.
00:49He has so far played 90 Tests, 350 One Day Internationals and 98 2020 Internationals for India,
00:57amassing over 17,000 international runs.
01:00Dhoni, who made his debut in 2004 against Bangladesh, has been a remarkable servant of Indian cricket.
01:06He's been a vital cog for the Indian team across all formats,
01:10be it for his lightning-quick glove work, aggressive batting or street-smart captaincy.
01:15One thing is for sure, whenever he eventually hangs up his bat and wicket-keeping gloves,
01:20there won't be a dry eye in India.
01:22Until then, here's wishing Mahindra Singh Dhoni a happy birthday.
