World Cup-winning former India captain MS Dhoni has been inducted to the ICC Hall of Fame, the International Cricket Council announced on Monday. Regarded as one of the most successful captains of all time, Dhoni led India to victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy. Additionally, he was captain of the Indian team when they climbed to the top of the ICC Test rankings in 2009.
“It is an honour to be named in the ICC Hall of Fame, which recognises 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,” Dhoni is quoted as saying by the ICC in its statement.
“With 17,266 international runs, 829 dismissals and 538 matches across formats for India, Dhoni’s numbers reflect not just excellence but extraordinary consistency, fitness and longevity,” said the ICC.
Dhoni is the 11th Indian to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame after Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Diana Edulji, Anil Kumble, Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid, Vinoo Mankad and Neetu David.
