Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has turned 40 today. Dhoni, who has bountiful loyal fans, has been receiving heartfelt wishes since midnight. Considering that this is his first birthday as a retired international cricketer, Dhoni continued to enjoy the love of his fans.
To receive such kind of admiration from fans despite being a former player speaks highly about the legendary wicket-keeper batsman; something which records and numbers can’t elucidate.
