There is not a single person in India who won't know Mahendra Singh Dhoni.From a school going boy in a small town like Ranchi to a ticket collector at a railway station in Kharagpur and then becoming one of the greatest captains in cricket history,Dhoni's life-story is no less than a fairytale.No one would have believed that a boy who was the goal-keeper for his school football team will one day become the greatest wicket keeper in Indian cricket history.In the early 2000s,Indian cricket team highly lacked a wicket-keeper who could bat for them in all the formats of the game.So Rahul Dravid used to keep the wickets which ultimately affected his batting.He wasn't able to concentrate fully on his batting due to which his form declined.But in 2005 when Mahendra Singh Dhoni made his debut for India,everyone realised that their long last problem of wicket-keeping is resolved.MS Dhoni not only kept the wickets but also played crucial innings with the bat whenever required.Since then,MSD hasn't looked back.
Born on July 7,1981 in a middle class family,Dhoni paved his way to success by his hard work.He didn't have an impressive debut match for India but once he got his flow,he made his mark in International cricket and he made it well. In 2007,India got defeated by Bangladesh in the ICC World Cup and was ultimately eliminated from the group stage.MS Dhoni was hugely criticized,some passionate fans even threw stones at his house.Rahul Dravid,who was the then captain of Indian cricket team,resigned from his captaincy.India was in need of a captain now.And it was again Mahendra Singh Dhoni who came to the rescue.He not just captained the team but also made them win the inaugural edition of ICC t20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007.Since then he has achieved great feats as a captain.He lead India to win the ICC World Cup 2011,ICC Champions Trophy 2013 and also the number one test rankings in Test cricket. Hold on,thats just International cricket,he also led his IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings to 2 IPL titles and 2 Champions League titles.MS Dhoni has such a huge impact that just because of him Chennai Super Kings has the most number of fans among all IPL teams.Don't believe me,check it here:Which team has most fans in IPL?
Till now,you will have assumed that he is a great captain.What if I tell you that he is an equally good batsman and a far better wicket-keeper.There is nothing in cricket MS Dhoni can't do.He can make lightning-fast stumpings,he can guide the bowler and set the field for him,he can finish the innings as well.His experience is a boost to any team in the world.He has also been listed as one of the most valuable players in IPL.If you want proof,you can read it here:MS Dhoni-the most valuable player in IPL
But still there are some cricket fans out there who think MS Dhoni has lost his charm and should retire as soon as he can.I would like to ask them that why should he retire.He is 36 years old and is still fitter than most of the young players in the team.He can run fast,his reflexes are still good,he can hit long sixes.Virat Kohli is still new as a captain and he would require a lot of help and guidance from MS Dhoni.Even Virat Kohli admits that MS Dhoni still has a lot of cricket left in him.From Rohit Sharma to Ravi Shastri,everyone believes that if MSD wants he can play till ICC World Cup 2023.As for me,MSD is the last player from my childhood and I would never want him to retire.His haters want him to retire after the World Cup next year,to which I and all his fans do not agree at all.We want MS to play as long as he can.It is completely his decision as to when to retire and we must leave it to him.
MS Dhoni is not just a cricketer,he is an emotion for millions of his fans.Please share this article(share buttons are below this post) as much as you can so that people stop spreading hatred towards one of the greatest cricketers ever.Do comment below and express your opinions if you are also an MSD fan.If you want more updates like this about cricket and MS Dhoni,do follow this blog by submitting your Email.Also follow us on twitter@cric_infinity
