MS Dhoni Joins ICC Hall of Fame Class of 2025

MS Dhoni Inducted into ICC Hall of Fame

On Monday, former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni was officially inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame for the year 2025, alongside renowned Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden and South Africa's Hashim Amla.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) plans to honor a total of seven cricketers—five men and two women—during the Hall of Fame ceremony in 2025.

According to the ICC, Dhoni is celebrated for his composure in high-pressure situations and his exceptional tactical skills. His induction recognizes him as one of the finest finishers, leaders, and wicketkeepers in cricket history.

With an impressive tally of 17,266 international runs, 829 dismissals, and participation in 538 matches for India, Dhoni's statistics highlight not only his excellence but also his remarkable consistency, fitness, and longevity in the sport.

Dhoni, who famously led India to victory in the T20 World Cup in 2007, the ODI World Cup in 2011, and the Champions Trophy in 2013, expressed his gratitude in a statement released by the ICC. He remarked, “Being named in the ICC Hall of Fame is a great honor, acknowledging the contributions of cricketers from various eras and regions.”

He added, “Having my name associated with such legendary figures is an incredible feeling, and it is something I will treasure for the rest of my life.”
