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

The song also captured the humble beginnings of Dhoni who worked as a ticket collector in the Indian railways before making inroads into the national cricket team.

Dhoni’f first major success as a leader came in when he led a young Indian team to the inaugural World T20 title in 2007. In 2011, Dhoni ended country’s 28-year-long title drought in the 50-over World Cup in front of their home crowd at the Wankhede Stadium in  Mumbai. 

In 2013, Dhoni became the only skipper to lay hands on all three major ICC trophies when he led India to 2013 Champions Trophy in England.

Dhoni hasn’t played any international cricket since July 2019, when India lost to New Zealand in the semi-final of the World Cup.

Dhoni was expected to return to action in this year’s Indian Premier League, which has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
