However, at present, it seems like he is ready with the song and is all set to unveil the same on July 7, which also happens to be MS Dhoni’s birthday.

MS Dhoni's illustrious career

Widely regarded as the best skipper and the best wicketkeeper across the game, MS Dhoni made his debut for Team India back in December 2004 in Bangladesh. The 'finisher' has often led the Men in Blue out of crunch situations and several victories. Dhoni was also the first skipper ever to win all ICC major trophies including the prestigious World Cup in 2011 which he got home with an iconic six on the last delivery. The Jharkhand-lad has also been equally successful in IPL winning the tournament thrice with the CSK. 

He was awarded the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award in 2007, the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour, in 2009 and the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honour, in 2018. However, 'Captain Cool' has been on a sabbatical ever since India's heartbreaking loss against New Zealand in the ICC 2019 World Cup semi-final.
