When it comes to the world of cricket, where competition is fierce and there is no lack of talent in the players, MS Dhoni has been one player who has consistently been a notch above the rest. With his awe-inspiring performances, the former India skipper remains an inspiration for generations. MS Dhoni is celebrating his 42nd birthday today, July 7. Wishes are pouring in for the Chennai Super Kings captain from across the globe. Food delivery platform Swiggy has also wished MS Dhoni in its own style. Comparing cold water, ice and Dhoni they sent their best wishes to “Captain Cool”.
MS Dhoni, fondly known as “Captain Cool” or “Thala”, has established himself as one of the best wicket-keepers of his generation. What sets Dhoni apart from his contemporaries is his dedication and composed attitude. He is the only captain in history to have bagged all three ICC titles – the ODI World Cup, the T20 World Cup, and the Champions Trophy. Under MS Dhoni’s guidance, his Indian Premier League team- Chennai Super Kings have clinched five trophies.
Swiggy posted a collage of three pictures on Twitter and wished MS Dhoni with a hilarious twist on his “Captain Cool” image. “There’s cold water, there’s ice and then there’s Dhoni. Happy birthday captain cool and thank you for the sweet memories,” Swiggy wrote.
