MS Dhoni needs no introduction. The former India skipper has given the Indian fans so many memories to cherish and has been always a source of inspiration. Even after his retirement in 2020, the aura hasn’t changed a bit and he continues to be a leading force as a captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Born on July 7, 1981, in Ranchi, Dhoni’s debut for India was not impressive but slowly he became a force to be reckoned with. Highlighting the noteworthy numbers in his illustrious career, apart from his finishing touches that have won several matches, the 42-year-old led the Indian teams to three ICC trophies.

The selectors chose him to lead the first-ever T20 World Cup in 2007 and right there he showed his captaincy abilities as the Men in Blue crowned as the world champions in the shortest format. Then the victory in the ODI World Cup came after 28 years in 2011 and two years later, India became winners in the Champions Trophy. In 2009, under him, India also topped the Test rankings for the first time. And of course, he led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to five IPL trophies. Thala’s captaincy has been praised by many from the entire cricket fraternity.

His widespread popularity led to many brands approaching him for brand endorsements and advertisements and while watching something on TV or phone, there’s always an advertisement that features the CSK captain. At first, his basic source of income was the contract with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) but post his retirement also, his net worth only seems to be increasing, for he continues to provide his services to the CSK.
