Dhoni's big break came in 2004 when he was selected to play for the Indian Under-19 team. His impressive performance in the Under-19 World Cup caught the attention of the national selectors, and he soon made his debut for the Indian team in 2004. However, it was his appointment as the captain of the Indian team in 2007 that marked a turning point in his career. Under his leadership, India won the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in 2007, and he led the team to victory in the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
