When anyone in the world thinks of Indian cricket, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the first name that comes to mind. The only skipper in the world who won every ICC trophy, Mahi took Indian cricket to soaring heights. He became captain of the Indian team for the first time for the inaugural World T20 in 2007 and bought the trophy home. Since then, it was no looking back as the Indian team thrashed opponents all over and emerged as a unit that every player in the world feared.
The skipper who earned every jewel in the crown of the Indian Cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni shocked the entire nation on Wednesday night. Captain cool stepped down as the leader of the team in the limited overs format and left the entire nation heartbroken.
