India's most successful captain — winner of all three ICC trophies (World Cup 2011, World T20 2007, Champions Trophy 2013) with a unique finishing ability.

MS Dhoni is India's most successful international captain and the only captain to have won all three ICC trophies. His nickname "Captain Cool" reflects his famous composure — most vividly demonstrated in the 2011 World Cup final when he promoted himself up the order and hit the winning six. His ability to finish matches from seemingly impossible positions became his career trademark.

He promoted himself above more recognised batsmen to hit the winning six in the 2011 World Cup final — ending India's 28-year wait for the trophy.
