From current Team India skipper Virat Kohli to Mr IPL Suresh Raina, the Indian cricket fraternity united to wish ‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni as he turned 39 on Tuesday (July 07).

The “Ice-Cool” Dhoni, who is regarded as one of the best wicket-keepers in the world, was showered with birthday wishes by his fans and admirers on social media from last evening itself.
“Happy b’day Mahi bhai. Wish you good health and happiness always. God bless you,” tweeted Virat.

Top class keeper. The best finisher this game has seen. Above all, a captain who led from the front & through his own conduct gave his team a deep rooted confidence that they could win on the big night. A true Indian great!
