Dhoni is being enthusiastically celebrated by fans all over the country on his 42nd birthday.
As the unique day drew nearer, enrapturing pictures arose, displaying monster Dhoni patterns in Hyderabad and Nandigama, Andhra Pradesh.
Remaining at a great level of 52 feet, the Hyderabad cut-out depicts Dhoni wearing the Indian shirt, while the transcending 77-foot Nandigama cut-out highlights him in the preparation pack of CSK (Chennai Super Rulers).
Notably, a video of the moment when milk was poured over the Nandigama cutout in a symbolic gesture went viral online.
Dhoni is still the most accomplished Indian captain, and his remarkable accomplishments have left an indelible mark on history.
He became the first and only captain to win the Champions Trophy, ICC T20 World Cup (2007), and ICC ODI World Cup thanks to his leadership skills in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.

Dhoni has received the Padma Bhushan (2018), Padma Shri (2009), and Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna (2007) from the Indian government for his contributions to sports. Additionally, he won the ICC ODI Player of the Year award for two years in a row (2008 and 2009).
