Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly called 'Captain Cool' by his legion of fans for keeping his temper on and off the field, turned 35 today. Fans took to Twitter to wish their skipper a very happy birthday. Obviously, India's World Cup victory came up during the discussion once or twice. Actually quite a lot, since Dhoni was the one who ended India's 28-year long wait to bring the World Cup home by hitting the winning six against the Sri Lankan in the finals at the Wankhede Stadium in 2011.

He is regarded as one of India's most successful cricket captains.

Here are some of the tweets that paid tribute to his genius.

Unlike others, as a rule Dhoni only eats the last piece of his birthday cake. Cos he is a finisher. Happy Birthday.
