Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had a significant and fascinating link to MS Dhoni’s three ICC trophy victories. During his tenure, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) proudly added three major ICC trophies to its cabinet, marking a golden era for Indian cricket.

The era of MS Dhoni began in earnest with India’s triumph in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007.

However, against all odds, India emerged victorious in the tournament, etching their name in cricketing history.
