MS Dhoni, who is still massively popular among his all around the world, celebrates his 41st birthday today, July 7. The long-haired boy from Ranchi went on to become one of India's most successful captains, earning the tag of 'Captain Cool' for staying calm even in the most trying and challenging circumstances. He made his debut in 2004 and after becoming India's captain, Dhoni went on to win the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. He also collected the ICC Test mace after taking India to the top of the Test rankings. He is still the only skipper to win all ICC trophies.

Steve Smith said England's new attacking approach to Test cricket was exciting but expressed doubts over whether it could stand up to the heat of Australian bowling. England have won all four Tests under new coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, crushing world Test champions New Zealand 3-0 in June before chasing down a record 378 against India this week. Smith said England's batters may not fare so well against the Australian bowling attack of Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. "It's been exciting. I'm just intrigued to see how long it lasts, if it's sustainable," Smith told reporters before Australia's second Test against Sri Lanka begins on Friday in Galle. "If you come in on a wicket that's got some grass on it and Josh Hazlewood, Cummins and Starc are rolling in at you, is it going to be the same? I'm intrigued by it all ... Is it going to work every time? I don't know."
