 The photograph of the cake, which had MSD 7 inscribed on it, was posted by Dhoni along with another tweet.Dhoni began his career in 2004/05 against Bangladesh, a rather forgettable debut considering that he was run out for a duck. Since then he has played 77 Tests, scoring 4209 runs at an average of 39.70. Considered a game-changer in the ODI format, Dhoni has 7313 runs at an average of 51.13 in the 225 matches that he has played.Under Dhoni, India have won the Twenty20 World Championship in 2007, the ODI World Cup (2011) and the Champions Trophy (2013).PTI
