About MS Dhoni
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, simply “MS” or “Mahi” to millions, is one of the most successful captains in the history of cricket. Born in Ranchi in 1981, he rose from small-town Jharkhand to lead India to every major limited-overs ICC trophy. His calm under pressure, famous “Captain Cool” image and down-to-earth lifestyle have made him one of India’s most trusted and admired public figures.
Career highlights
MS made his first-class debut for Bihar in 1999 and his India debut in an ODI against Bangladesh in December 2004. He became ODI captain in 2007 and led India across formats from 2008. Under his leadership India won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the 2011 Cricket World Cup, where his final-winning six became an iconic moment, and the 2013 Champions Trophy, making him the only captain to win all three ICC limited-overs titles. He also led India to Asia Cup wins in 2010 and 2016.
He scored more than 17,000 international runs, including over 10,000 in ODIs at an average above 50, and is regarded as one of the greatest wicketkeeper-batters ever. In the IPL he has led Chennai Super Kings to five titles and ten finals, and to two Champions League T20 titles.

Planning a campaign with MS
Dhoni keeps a low public profile and works with a limited number of partners, so a clear, respectful brief matters. His availability is shaped by the IPL season, and category conflicts with existing associations must be checked early. Simple, honest creative ideas often suit him best.
