Happy Birthday Mahi: It’s raining wishes for Captain Cool!

‘Captain Cool’, ‘Thala’, ‘MSD’, ‘Mahi’ – one man, many avatars! No words can describe the kind of revolution that Mahendra Singh Dhoni brought to Indian cricket. If Saurav Ganguly taught winning aggression to the Indian team, Dhoni introduced the concept of ‘calm in chaos’. From India’s maiden T20 World Cup win in 2007 to the 2011 World Cup-winning six, MSD has given Indian cricket and its fans plenty of memories to cherish.

As the former Indian skipper turns 39 today, here’s how his family, teammates, well-wishers have poured their love for him all over social media!
