Maahi, Dhoni, MS or MSD - all are the names of Mahendra Singh Dhoni who is counted among one of the most respected mans in the chapter of Indian cricket. The honorary Lieutenant Colonel of the Indian army, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has decided to end his test series, which started in 2005.
It wasn’t long when the caliber of this man with long hair was recognized, and just after 3 years in ODI, he was handed over the captaincy for the Indian National Cricket Team. Soon in 2008, he was made the captain of the Test Team too. It was under his captaincy that India could come out of the drought of over 2 decades, and was able to bag the T20 World Cup in 2007, and then the World Cup in 2011.
With the recent announcement of the bike enthusiast resigning from the Test cricket, a wave of regret can be seen running in this game’s lovers. But nevertheless, the performance of Indian test team under the captaincy of Dhoni was not up to the mark with India winning just two of the 22 matches played on foreign soil since 2011.
It is evident that Dhoni, who once used to be a Ticket Inspector with the Indian Railways, rose up to fulfill his passion of playing cricket for the country. This bike enthusiast has a collection entailing monsters from Yamaha, Confederate, Harley-Davidson, Ducati, Kawasaki and the list goes on.
The inventor of the “Helicopter Shot” passed on the baton of Test captaincy to the budding cricketer, Virat Kohli. As soon as the eyes of the people got off from Dhoni’s news, they got stuck on Kohli to see how he performs with such a huge responsibility on his shoulders.
