MS Dhoni — The man who led India in the World Cup win after 28 years in 2011 was a football goalkeeper during his school days. The relationship grew up with forever bonding when Dhoni's childhood coach Keshav Banerjee first seen the glimpse of a future star and made Dhoni believe and fight for it, to make his dream come true. Changing the football gloves with wicketkeeper one, made his destiny turned to the next level. The Star of Indian Cricket, the 'world cup 2011 winning captain, 2007 T-20 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy champion' have believed in his dream and rest all became golden history.

Ok, but did Dhoni really deserve to take over the ODI captaincy from Rahul Dravid back in 2007?

Ok, but did Dhoni really deserve to take over the ODI captaincy from Rahul Dravid back in 2007?

It was Rahul Dravid, who decided to leave the captaincy after tremendous loss from the 2007 World Cup, making the Indian team broken into pieces and the Indian fan burst into anger. That time, what was required was young blood with the creative power to lead the team into the next level and MS -Dhoni who got the opportunity proved to be true. That time, T-20 was becoming the popular tournament and Dhoni made his team to perform their best and play free with passion, which proved them to be Inaugural T-20 World Cup 2007 Champions and India got a new rising captain for future. Rest all, was the golden history!

Have to admit, though, he was right about Atlanta being a good MLS town.

Mr. Das, I have a rudimentary knowledge of cricket thanks to a Brit who got me interested in the Ashes a decade ago. But unfortunately you are pitching to a U.S. audience that is 99% either ignorant or uninterested in the sport.

The Calm app has a highly entertaining (and soothing, of course) sleep story featuring the Vin Scully of cricket explaining the game. His explanation is fascinating; I've listened to it 22 times.

I steal have no idea how the **** the game is played.

Have India's Vinny and Dhoni ever buried anyone in the desert, though?
