Former India batter Virender Sehwag and spinner Harbhajan Singh shared special birthday wishes for legendary captain MS Dhoni on his 45th birthday. Sehwag posted a unique Instagram message comparing Dhoni to a hidden waterfall, while Harbhajan shared a heartfelt tribute on X to honour his former captain.
Dhoni celebrated his 45th birthday on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. The Ranchi-born wicketkeeper scored 17,266 runs and completed 829 dismissals in 538 international matches before announcing his retirement on August 15, 2020. Notably, he last played for Team India in the ICC ODI World Cup 2019 semifinal.
Virender Sehwag took to Instagram to share a unique birthday message for MS Dhoni. He compared the former India captain to the famous Dhoni Waterfalls in Palakkad, Kerala, saying both appear calm on the surface but are incredibly powerful underneath.
Sharing a photo with Dhoni, Sehwag wrote:
“Kerala ke Palakkad mein, ek jungle ke andar, ek waterfall hai jiska naam hai -Dhoni. Koi seedha nahi pahunch sakta. Rasta mushkil hai thoda. Guide chahiye. Teen ghante chalke jaao tab dikhta hai.
Aur jab dikhta hai? Upar se bilkul shant. Andar se aag. Surface smooth, lekin kareeb jao toh pata chalta hai kitna powerful hai. Kerala Forest Department ne iske saath ek rule banaya hai. Paani dikhta calm hai. Hai nahi. Mujhe nahi pata yeh rule waterfall ke liye tha ya No. 7 ke liye.
Aur yeh jagah, yeh Dhoni Kerala mein tab se hai jab Mahendra Singh Dhoni paida bhi nahi hua tha. Jaise nature ko pehle se pata tha. Koi aayega. Aisa hi hoga. Aise hi milega, mushkil raaste ke baad, bilkul unexpected jagah pe. Aur ek baar jo mil gaya toh bhoolna mushkil hai. Happy Birthday @mahi7781. Stay blessed forever. #HappyBirthdayDhoni.”
