A legend was born today who won millions of hearts through his brilliant on-field performances, helicopter shots, and simplicity. MS Dhoni is a name that will shine forever in the history of cricket within and outside the country.
Dhoni’s birthday wishes are proof of why everyone loves Mahi so much but nobody can wish better than Virendra Sehwag. Like always, this year also Viru stole the limelight and we are glad for it. At least, we get to know the meaning of his name. Have a look here.

Mahi, Mahi, Mahi!!!
The entire stadium used to echo with his name when the former Captain of India aka Cool Captain used to perform on the pitch. Unfortunately, the heartbeat of cricket fanatics announced retirement so soon.
