Former India Captain MS Dhoni has been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in 2025, which has been unveiled ahead of the World Test Championship final at Lord’s.

He has been honoured for his stellar 14-year international career, where he won several top honours, both individually and with the Indian team.

MS Dhoni is the only captain to lift all three ICC senior white-ball trophies: the 50-over World Cup, the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy.

Dhoni has played 350 ODIs, scoring 10,773 runs and has also played 90 Test matches and 98 T20Is in his international career which began in December 2004.

He has amassed over 15,000 international runs across formats, hit 16 centuries, and effected 829 dismissals as wicketkeeper.

“With 17,266 international runs, 829 dismissals and 538 matches across formats for India, Dhoni’s numbers reflect not just excellence but extraordinary consistency, fitness and longevity,” the ICC wrote in a press statement.

Meanwhile, Matthew Hayden, Daniel Vettori, Hashim Amla and Graeme Smith were the latest inductees in the ICC’s Hall of Fame.

Meanwhile the elite group were former England wk-batter Sarah Taylor and ex-Pakistan captain Sana Mir.

“It is an honour to be named in the ICC Hall of Fame, which recognises the contributions of cricketers across generations and from all over the world. To have your name remembered alongside such all-time greats is a wonderful feeling. It is something that I will cherish forever,” said MS Dhoni.

“MS Dhoni’s early performances had already marked him out as a player of composure and clarity. It was enough for the selectors to take a bold call and hand him the captaincy for the inaugural ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2007,” the ICC said in a release.

“The timing was delicate. India had endured a disappointing exit in the group stage of the 50-over World Cup earlier that year, and the squad for the T20 edition was a young, largely untested group, missing many of the senior stalwarts of Indian cricket. Expectations were modest where India were far from tournament favourites.

“But under Dhoni’s leadership, a new generation of players emerged – Rohit Sharma, RP Singh, Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik, among others – all playing fearless cricket.

“That approach paid off spectacularly. India went on to lift the trophy, beating arch-rivals Pakistan in a thrilling final and etching their names in history as the first T20 World Champions.”
