He is arguably India's greatest captain ever
Mahendra Singh Dhoni loves cricket, bikes and his army bag. And if Suresh Raina's latest tweet is anything to go by, the Indian cricket team captain has a penchant for flute playing too!
Dhoni turned 35 on Thursday and his long-time teammate Raina wished his captain on social media. The left-handed batsman Raina also decided to treat Dhoni's millions of fans worldwide to an unknown facet of arguably the greatest Indian captain ever.
Raina posted a small video clip in which Dhoni appears to be sitting at an airport and playing a flute. The laughter of his teammates is unmissable as Dhoni does a decent job with the musical instrument.

Besides Raina, present and former teammates of Dhoni too wished the veteran on his special day.
Dhoni is the only Indian captain to have led his side to all three major ICC tournaments. From winning the maiden World T20 in 2007 on his captaincy debut to leading India to a World Cup victory on home soil and helping India maintain the top spot in the Test rankings, he is the most successful Indian captain.
In 2013, Dhoni also became the only Indian captain to win the Champions Trophy. Dhoni has scored 8918 runs in 278 ODIs that at a strike rate of 89.27.
Under Dhoni's captaincy, India remained the number one Test team for 18 months from December 2009. He has scored 4876 runs in 90 Test matches that includes nine centuries and 33 fifties.
