Ayoung Team India led by MS Dhoni created history by winning the 2007 T20 World Cup. Following India's disappointing performance in the 2007 ODI World Cup, the fans didn't have high expectations from the Men in Blue. The Dhoni-led team stunned one and all to win the inaugural edition of the tournament by defeating Pakistan in the final. Not to forget, India had only played one T20I before the ICC event.

Dhoni's success in the T20 World Cup resulted in him taking over the ODI captaincy soon. He became India's Test captain in 2008 and excelled in every format as the leader of Team India.

But he might have missed out on becoming the captain had the selectors picked Yuvraj Singh as the captain. Speaking to Sports18 in 2022, Yuvraj revealed that he was expecting to become the captain of the 2007 T20 World Cup as he was the captain. He further revealed that Dhoni became the captain out of nowhere.

"I was supposed to be the captain. Then the Greg Chappell incident happened. It had become Chappell or Sachin. I was probably the only player who supported…that I support my teammate. And there were a lot of people in the…Some of the BCCI officials did not like that. It was said that they should make anybody the captain but not myself. This is what I heard," Yuvraj told Sports18 in 2022.

"I am not sure how true it is. Suddenly from vice-captaincy, I was removed. Sehwag was not there in the team. So, out of nowhere, Mahi (MS Dhoni) became captain for the 2007 T20 World Cup. I thought I was going to be the captain."

Yuvraj was Dhoni's deputy in the 2007 T20 WC. Yuvraj is one of the Indian legends who never captained the national team in any series. He played 304 ODIs, 40 Tests and 58 T20Is.

Yuvraj was India's star performer in the 2011 ODI World Cup and delivered a Player of the Tournament performance. He scored 362 runs and scalped 15 wickets in the tournament. He retired from international cricket in 2019.

Talking of Dhoni, he enjoyed huge success on the captaincy front. Under him, India also won the 2011 ODI WC and the 2013 Champions Trophy. In 2009, India climbed to the top spot in the ICC Test rankings for the first time. With 27 wins from 60 matches, Dhoni retired as the most successful Indian Test captain.

A star outshines an entire galaxy in NASA's latest image captured by Hubble Telescope. See pic

  Snapshot of the star that stood out in the galaxy. © Provided by Deepak kumar blogs N ASA never fails to amaze us with wonderful pictures of the stars and the galaxy. This time, the space agency shared an image of a single star that stole the show. The image was captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and shows a star and a galaxy that are in the constellation Lacerta (The Lizard). Elaborating on this celestial marvel,  NASA  explained, "The star is a million times closer to us than the galaxy, which lies more than 45 million light-years away. This relative closeness is the only way a star can outshine an entire galaxy containing billions of stars."  They further added, "This star is what astronomers call a 'foreground star,' and it's a bit of a nuisance. Its light can contaminate fainter light from more distant objects that astronomers want to study." Talking more about the foreground stars, NASA shared, "In a technique called microlensing,...

NASA's Hubble Telescope captures mesmerising colourful eruption of a 'stellar volcano'

  NASA's Hubble Telescope captures mesmerising colourful eruption of a 'stellar volcano' T he cosmos has once again dazzled us! The Hubble Space Telescope recently revealed a striking image of two stars locked in a fascinating dance. This captivating nebula showcases the intricate relationship of these celestial neighbours, a tale centuries in the making. The hourglass-shaped nebula forms from the interaction between two distinct stars. One is a compact white dwarf, while the other is a massive red giant. This red giant is over 400 times larger than our sun and has a brightness that fluctuates over a 387-day cycle. Located about 710 light-years from Earth, this star system is called R Aquarii. It is classified as a symbiotic variable star, a term that mirrors biological symbiosis. This means two different stars exist close together and interact continuously.
