Remove the "along with his parents" part because the source article for that does not mention it at all. Disastrous Thing 733 (talk) 13:32, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

MS Dhoni the fourth player to...
So, in 2002, when ICC hosted the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy, the final between India and Sri Lanka was rained out. As a result, the trophy was jointly awarded and the players on both sides won. This is easily referencable.

Now, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh were part of that ICC Champions Trophy winning team. They subsequently won the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 Cricket World Cup. As a result, they were the first players to win all three white ball tournaments, and Dhoni joined them as the fourth when he won the 2013 CT.

I propose a small bit about this, not elaborated, be added on all four players' articles. Pharaoh496 (talk) 14:16, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Pharaoh496 In my opinion, it is better to state the fact as is saying Dhoni has won so and so. Absolutely not required to do a laundry list of people who have achieved the same feat. With regards to the ICC trophies, I had made a change to state that Dhoni has won three limited overs tournament rather than white-ball, as limited overs is a better term in the cricketing parlance.

 * Agree on the last point.
 * The first may seem as a laundry list, but if you really consider the significance of the achievement, it really isnt.
 * Take a look at the five aussie cricketers: smith, warner, hazelwood, cummins and im forgetting the last one. Point is they won tournaments in 3 formats, and thats mentioned, for all five on each of their pages. This is surely a similar achievement. Pharaoh496 (talk) 15:01, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * In the pages you have referred, say Steve Smith for e.g., as it is a good article, there is no mention of names in the lead of the article. It simply mentions his wins in the ICC trophies. It has been mentioned in the body of the article in the section with sufficient citations. I am perfectly fine if you want to mention this in the corresponding section of the article with appropriate references. My point is that it is not sourced anywhere and not required to clutter the lead. Hope you get the point. Thanks! Magentic Manifestations (talk) 15:20, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Lets do it. Pharaoh496 (talk) 16:05, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
