Cricket legend and Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar recalled his first meeting with former Indian captain and wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, saying, “I had not heard of Dhoni until he joined the Indian team. I saw him for the first time during an ODI tournament in Bangladesh. I was discussing with Sourav Ganguly and he told that there is something special in this man and he has the ability to hit the ball. However, hitting the ball at the first-class cricket level and hitting the international level are two different things.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has congratulated Dhoni on his retirement by releasing a video. In this video of three minutes and 11 seconds, from Dhoni’s first match, all the historical moments have been captured.
