Happy thala day

BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla: Former India captain MS Dhoni, who is universally regarded as the best finisher in the modern game, is celebrating his 45th Birthday on Tuesday. On his special day, the sports fraternity shared heartwarming wishes on social media.

Adding a unique touch to the celebrations, the FIFA World Cup 2026 instagram account shared a picture featuring Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, each with seven goals in the ongoing tournament, alongside the caption, "7 Goals. Thala for a reason. Happy Thala Day," a nod to Dhoni's iconic No. 7 jersey and the "Thala" nickname bestowed upon him by Chennai Super Kings fans.
