Happy Birthday MS Dhoni: Twitter Erupts As Former India Captain Turns 39

Twitter went into a meltdown as the clock turned 12 on July 07. MS Dhoni, the former Indian skipper, has turned 39 years old and Twitter went absolutely berserk.

Dhoni was last seen in the Indian colours in the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Unfortunately, India lost the game to New Zealand and were eliminated from the competition. Since then, Dhoni has been away from the Indian team.

His return was much anticipated with the return of IPL 2020 this year as he was back to the field sweating it hard for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, the BCCI had to postpone the tournament indefinitely due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, this has again given way to speculations on Dhoni’s future with Team India.

Here, we take a look at some of the most insane fan reactions from the Twitter world as MS Dhoni turns another leaf.

One of Dhoni’s fan enlists a pretty interesting range of Dhoni’s contributions.

Dhoni's biggest gift to India was not the trophies, players etc. It was belief, expectations. You started to believe any game can be won from any situation, and then it became an expectation.

Happy Birthday @msdhoni, thanks for the innumerable lessons.#HappyBirthdayDhoni
