Earlier, Dhoni had a busy day as India played against West Indies in the fifth and final ODI at Kingston, Jamaica.

Team India first restricted the hosts to a paltry 205/9 in stipulated 50 overs and later skipper Virat Kohli smashed an unbeaten 111 to take India home with eight wickets in hand.
India thus clinched the 5-match series 3-1. After sealing the series, Indian cricketers went into party mode and celebrated the Ranchi-lad's birthday.
Fans started trending "HappyBirthdayMSD" from last night and cricketers too joined in to wish the wicketkeeper-batsman.
