Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag took a creative approach in his birthday wish, linking the number 7 with Dhoni’s significance. He tweeted, “The Sun God has 7 horses to pull his heavenly chariot. In the Rigveda, there are 7 parts of the world, 7 seasons & 7 fortresses, 7 basic musical notes, 7 pheras in a marriage, 7 wonders of the world. And on the 7th day of the 7th month – Birthday of a top man.”
Ravindra Jadeja, who considers Dhoni his “go-to man,” expressed his heartfelt wishes for the Ranchi-born superstar. Jadeja tweeted, “My go-to man since 2009 till date and forever. Wishing you a very happy birthday Mahi bhai. See you soon in yellow.”

Your helicopter shots,
Swift stumping on dots
Always made the game a treat to watch,
And made opponent's hopes go botch.
Happiest birthday @msdhoni bhai
