"Thanks For Birthday Gift": MS Dhoni's Priceless Post On India's T20 World Cup Triumph

T20 World Cup 2024: Before Saturday, the last time India won an ICC title was in 2013, when they lifted the Champions Trophy under the leadership of MS Dhoni.

The Indian cricket team ended a long wait on Saturday. The Rohit Sharma-led India outplayed South Africa in style in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 to end a 11-year wait for an ICC title. Before Saturday, the last time India won an ICC title was in 2013, when they lifted the Champions Trophy under the leadership of MS Dhoni. In fact, the last time India won the T20 World Cup, MS Dhoni was the captain. So, when India broke the jinx, the reaction of India's finest captain MS Dhoni was always going to be special.  Every star added to the Team India jersey inspires our nation's starry-eyed children to move one step closer to their dreams.

And MS Dhoni, who rarely puts up anything on social media, broke his long silence and congratulated the team.

From all the Indians back home and everywhere in the world a big thank you for bringing the World Cup Home.

Legendary Sachin Tendulkar also took to social media to express his delight on India's achievement, saying the country has now got a ‘fourth star', following two 50-over World Cup wins in 1983 and 2011 as well as the historic triumph in the inaugural 2007 World T20.
