Former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was one of the successful skippers to have led the Men in Blue.No words can describe the impact the 'Helicopter shot' king has on the game.
M.S.Dhoni, who remains as cool as ice on the field and earned the name of 'Mr. Cool' became the only Indian skipper to win the three International Cricket Council(ICC) Trophies.
Under his captaincy, India went on to win the inaugural T20 trophy in 2007 and 50-over-World Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2011 and 2013 respectively.
It's been eight years since India added one more feather in its cap by emerging victorious in the Champions Trophy final, by crushing the English team in the final on 23 June 2013.
The final match of the Champions Trophy was affected due to rain and the match was reduced to 20 overs per side. In their given quota, India had managed to put up 129 runs on the scoreboard by losing seven wickets.
Run Machine Virat Kohli and All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja came to the rescue of India by scoring 43 and 33 runs respectively in the crucial match.
In the edge of the seat thriller, India defeated England by five runs. When six runs were needed off the last ball, James Tredwell missed the ball, which resulted in Dhoni scripting history by lifting the third ICC trophy.
