It was learnt that the 'Silver Stars' signified four glittering achievements of Dhoni's captaincy. The first being 2007 World T20 triumph, second being No 1 in Tests in 2009, third one represented the 50-over World Cup victory in 2011 and the fourth one represented 2013 Champions Trophy win in England.
