Will Cherish Forever: MS Dhoni's First Reaction After Being Inducted Into ICC Hall Of Fame

The legendary Indian cricketer MS Dhoni's name has been added to the ICC Hall of Fame at a ceremony held at the Abbey Road Studios in London. Along with him, many other players' names have also been added to honor their cricketing legacies. Apart from him, the male cricketers who shone in the list were former Australia opener Matthew Hayden, former South Africa captain Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, and New Zealand legend Daniel Vettori. Among the women, Pakistan's Sana Mir and former England wicketkeeper batter Sarah Taylor are the ones who were honored in the list.

MS DHONI'S INTERNATIONAL CRICKET CAREER

Dhoni has scored more than 17,000 international runs and is the only captain to win all three ICC white-ball trophies. He has played a total of 350 ODIs, scoring 10,773 runs at an average of 50.57, smashing 10 centuries and 73 half centuries, whereas he appeared in 98 T20Is where he scored 1617 runs at an average of 37.60.

DHONI'S REACTION ON BEING INDUCTED INTO THE ICC HALL OF FAME

Dhoni said,

"It is an honor to be named in the ICC Hall of Fame, which recognizes 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."

The 43-year-old has played against all five men's Hall of Fame players and has even shared the dressing room and captained Matthew Hayden at the Chennai Super Kings in IPL. He has also become the 11th Indian cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. He added his name to the list with Sunil Gavaskar, Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Vinoo Mankad, Dian Edulji, Virender Sehwag, and Neetu David.

The ICC Hall of Fame started in January 2009 as part of ICC's celebrations. Since then, it has helped to celebrate the legacy of legendary cricketers and their glory over the years in cricket.
