With India winning the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013 in England, Dhoni became the first and is still the only captain till date to have won all three ICC Trophies,&#8217; it said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1078\" src=\"http:\/\/odiannews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/images-2020-08-15T215724.655-300x167.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/odiannews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/images-2020-08-15T215724.655-300x167.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/odiannews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/images-2020-08-15T215724.655-24x13.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/odiannews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/images-2020-08-15T215724.655-36x20.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/odiannews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/images-2020-08-15T215724.655-48x27.jpeg 48w, https:\/\/odiannews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/images-2020-08-15T215724.655.jpeg 743w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The board further added that it was under his leadership that India became the No 1 Test side in 2009 and the team stayed at the top for over 600 days.

Dhoni also holds the record for most international matches as captain (332). &#8216;Unarguably the quickest man behind the wicket, Dhoni has 195 international stumpings, the most by any
