My dear @msdhoni!
The real flight of life is still left,
There are many tests of life left,
We have only measured a handful of land,
The whole sky is still over !!!
May we miss you in the playground! But you will always rule our hearts. Live.

Let me tell you that there are many records in the name of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but there is such a record, which is impossible for anyone to break. It is impossible for any captain to break this record now because the ICC has ended the tournament after the 2017 Champions Trophy. No other captain will win all three titles of the World T20, World Cup and Champions Trophy. Dhoni is the only captain in the world, under whose captaincy the team has won all three ICC Trophies. India has won the titles of 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy under the captaincy of Dhoni.
