M.S. Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh were both integral parts of the India side which won the 2007 ICC Men's World T20 and the 2011 ICC Men's World Cup. On the other side, Suresh Raina scored over 5,500 ODI runs across a 13-year career. MCC applauded the achievements of the Indian women's team duo Jhulan and Mithali. Jhulan, who retired from internationals at Lord's last year, is the leading wicket-taker in Women's ODIs. Mithali heads the run-scoring list with 7,805 in 211 innings. These five Indian Cricket legends get the Marylebone Cricket Club Honorary Lifetime memberships among the 17 players on Wednesday.
