MS Dhoni was handed the perfect birthday gift as the Men in Blue crushed West Indies by eight wickets in the 5th ODI to win the series 3-1.
Dhoni, who turned 36 today, ended the series as the fifth highest run-scorer (154). Wishes poured in, from fans and fellow cricketers, for the wicket keeper-batsman on his special day. Yuvraj Singh, however, wished his teammate in a rather interesting manner.
“Many happy returns of the day to Mr. Helicopter @mahi7781 have a great day buddy, the cake awaits you #happybirthday #cakesmash,” tweeted Yuvraj.Mahi and his wife Sakshi, who tied the knot on July 4, 2010, completed 7 years of togetherness . Sakshi and daughter Ziva are also in the Caribbean.
Dhoni enjoyed a mixed run in the ODI series against the West Indies. He was awarded the man-of-the-match for his performance in the 3rd ODI, but faced plenty of criticism for his show in the 4th ODI.
Despite scoring a fifty in the fourth match, he failed to take India through, chasing 190 against the hosts. Dhoni, considered one the greatest finishers in world cricket, couldn’t rescue the team despite almost batting till the very end.
Interestingly, four years ago playing in West Indies, Dhoni was in a similar situation against the hosts.
