On the eve of Dhoni’s birthday, the three-time IPL champions had shared the full video of “helicopter song” sung by CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo.

“The Helicopter 7 has taken off! @DJBravo47’s tribute to #Thala @msdhoni, his brother from another mother! #HappyBirthdayDhoni #WhistlePodu,” CSK tweeted on Monday.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli also took to Instagram to wish MS Dhoni on his special day. Kohli shared a collage with the former skipper, and wished for his “good health and happiness”.

“Happy b’day Mahi bhai. Wish you good health and happiness always. God bless,” Kohli captioned his post.

In the helicopter song, Bravo highlighted Dhoni’s various achievements in the international cricket, who is the only captain in the world to win all three major ICC trophies for his country.

The song also captures the humble beginnings of the wicketkeeper-batsman who worked as a ticket collector in the Indian railways before making his international debut under the leadership of current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly in 2004.
