From being a machine behind the stumps , to leading his sides to historical triumphs through the years , from being the coolest sportsman in any situation , to finishing games at will… Dhoni has done it all! A true blessing for the country and the sport , he has won all the trophies possible , as well as everyone’s hearts! But what is his story and why is he the best???
MS Dhoni was born on the 7th of July , 1981 in the town of Ranchi. Initially in his younger days , he was into football and was a brilliant goalkeeper. After keenly observing his catching talents , the coach of the cricket team in his school brought him into the team and naturally , he was a wicket keeping sensation and an able batsman. He kept getting promoted and soon enough , he was seen captaining the national side.
The complete secret as to why he is so sensational and effective will never be known. But of course he has certain qualities that set him apart! Let’s take a look…..
- COOL AS A CUCUMBER: In my opinion , Dhoni is the coolest customer in professional sport today. His ability to think and mix things up even under pressure is unbelievable. MS manages to calm his players down and helps them think straight because of which half the burden gets lifted off their shoulders.
- BRAIN AND THE BRAWN: Not only does Dhoni have the mental strength , he is also extremely fit physically. Whether it’s keeping , smashing the ball out of the park or running between wickets , this man is always up for the task.
- CONSISTENCY , BELIEF , ADAPTATION: Ever since he has donned the Indian colors , MS has been Mr. dependable in the middle order. As a captain , he always found the right combinations and trusted his players to do the job for him. Moreover , he always had efficient strategies and varied approaches to games depending on the format. This , according to me , makes MSD a superstar and a true legend worldwide!
