MS-Dhoni-Captain-ICC-ODI-team-of-the-year

Ever since he made his debut, MS Dhoni’s ODI laurels have always taken center stage. His brute force with the bat and astute cricketing brain in limited overs cricket have earned him praise and silverware over the years. Over the years he has featured in the ICC ODI team list and it came as no surprise after he was named in the 2014 ICC ODI team of the year. (Also Read: Bhuvneshwar Kumar won ICC People’s Choice Award 2014)
