MS Dhoni has always been an asset to Indian cricket, and this time his achievement has added another glorious feather in Team India’s cap. The former Indian skipper has been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

As the entire cricket world celebrates Captain Cool’s achievement, former Indian coach Ravi Shastri’s out-of-the-box tribute to him grabbed the attention.

Shastri Salutes Dhoni With A Twist Of Humor

In Indian cricket, MS Dhoni’s contribution can’t be described in words. Winning two World Cups and leading the side to many memorable victories, he has been a monumental figure. Along with an unreal cricket brain, his lightning-fast moves behind the stumps make him a great. Recognizing his contribution, he has been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

As the wicketkeeper-batter receives heartfelt praise for this achievement, former Indian coach Ravi Shastri’s humorous tribute to him has grabbed attention. According to the Times Of India, he playfully likened Captain Cool’s mastery behind the stumps to the cunning skills of a seasoned thief.

“He had hands faster than that of a pickpocket. If you’re ever in India, going for a big game, especially in Ahmedabad, you don’t want MS behind you; watch that back,” Shastri said.

Ravi Shastri Hails Dhoni’s Calming Aura

As the game of cricket always excites fans, MS Dhoni stands different. Amidst the nail-biting moment or a thrilling victory, Captain Cool stands with calmness. Ravi Shastri applauds this legendary calm that sets Dhoni apart from the rest.

“He gets out for zero, he wins the World Cup, he gets a hundred the same, two hundred the same. There is absolutely, you know, no difference,” the former Indian coach added.

After a stellar international career as a captain and even as a player, MS Dhoni has been welcomed into the ICC Hall of Fame, joining cricket legends from around the world. With that honor, Dhoni becomes the 11th Indian player to join the prestigious list.
