Childhood & Early Life ms Dhoni
Mahendr singh dhoni was born on July 7, 1981,
in Ranchi, Bihar (now in Jharkhand), into
a Rajput family originally from Uttarakhand.
His father, Pan Singh, is retired employee
of MECON (a Public Sector Undertaking under
the Ministry of Steel), where he worked in
junior management positions. His mother Devaki
Devi is a housewife.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has one elder brother,
Narendra Singh Dhoni, and one elder sister,
Jayanti Gupta. His brother is a politician,
while his sister is an English teacher.
He attended DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir located
at Shyamali in Ranchi, Jharkhand. He was an
athletic student, but was more interested
in badminton and football initially. He was
the goalkeeper of his school football team.
It was by sheer chance that his football coach
once sent him to fill in as the wicketkeeper
of the cricket team of a local club. He charmed
everyone with his performance and secured
a permanent spot as the regular wicketkeeper
in the Commando cricket club team for three
years during 1995-98.
He continued to perform well and was selected
for Vinoo Mankad Trophy Under-16 Championship
team during the 1997-98 season. He started
to take cricket seriously only after completing
10th standard.
Early Career ms dhoni
In 1998, M. S. Dhoni, who had been playing
only in school and club level cricket till
then, was selected to play for the Central
Coal Fields Limited (CCL) team. He impressed
Deval Sahay, an ex Bihar Cricket Association
Vice-President, with his determination and
hard-hitting skills, which opened up opportunities
for him to play in First Class cricket.
During the 1998-99 season, he failed to make
it to the East Zone U-19 squad or Rest of
India squad, but he was selected for the East
Zone U-19 squad for the CK Nayudu trophy in
the next season. Unfortunately, he could not
perform well and his team finished last in
the tournament.
He made his Ranji Trophy debut for Bihar cricket
team during the 1999-2000 season with a score
of 68 not out in the second innings. He scored
his maiden first-class century during a game
against Bengal in the following season, but
his team lost the game.
Coming from a middles class Indian family,
money was not a luxury for him. In fact, at
the age of 20, he moved to Midnapore, West
Bengal, after securing a Travelling Ticket
Examiner (TTE) job at Kharagpur railway station
via sports quota. He served as a railway employee
from 2001 to 2003.
In 2001, he was selected to play the Duleep
Trophy for the East Zone; however, Bihar Cricket
Association could not communicate this information
to Dhoni in time, as he was located in Midnapore.
He learnt this at a time when his team had
already reached Agartala, the venue for the
match. While one of his friends managed to
hire a car for him to reach Kolkata Airport
for a flight, the car broke down halfway,
resulting in Deep Dasgupta serving as the
wicketkeeper.
During the 2002-03 season, he continued to
perform well in the Ranji Trophy and the Deodhar
Trophy, which helped him get recognition.
As part of the East Zone team, he won the
Deodhar Trophy in 2003-2004 season, in which
he scored another century.
He was eventually picked for the India A squad
for a tour of Zimbabwe and Kenya during 2003-04.
He took 7 catches and had stumpings during
a match against Zimbabwe XI. He also helped
his team defeat Pakistan A in back-to-back
matches, scoring a half century in the first,
followed by two centuries. With such performance,
he got noticed by the then Indian National
Team captain Sourav Ganguly.
ODI Career mahindra singh dhoni
Following his superb performance in first-class
cricket, M. S. Dhoni was selected to play
in the national ODI team for India's tour
of Bangladesh in 2004-05. Unfortunately, he
got run out for a duck in his debut match
and could not perform very well during the
rest of the series.
Despite poor performance in his debut series,
the selectors showed faith in him by selecting
him for the Pakistan ODI series that followed.
Dhoni didn't disappoint them as he scored
a record breaking 148, most by an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman,
in his fifth ODI match.
Dhoni, who did not get enough opportunities
to bat in the first two matches of the India-Sri
Lanka bilateral series, was promoted in the
batting order for the third match of the series.
He utilized the opportunity fully by scoring
a speedy 183 not out off 145 balls while chasing
a target of 299. He broke a number of records
during the series and was named Man of the
Series for his performance.
During the India-Pakistan ODI series of 2005-06,
he contributed 68, 72 not out, 2 not out and
77 not out in four of the five matches to
help his team win the series 4-1. With his
consistent performance, he dethroned Ricky
Ponting to reach the top of the ICC ODI Rankings
for batsmen on 20 April 2006, even though
just for a week.
In the two series against West Indies and
Sri Lanka before the 2007 Cricket World Cup
Tournament, Dhoni showed terrific performance
with an average of over 100. However, he failed
to perform during the World Cup and the Indian
team could not go beyond the group stage in
the tournament.
He was named the vice-captain of the ODI team
for two series against South Africa and England
in 2007. He also led the Indian team to the
ICC World Twenty20 trophy in South Africa
and won the trophy, defeating the Pakistani
team.
Following his successful captaincy in Twenty20,
he was given the responsibility to lead the
Indian ODI team for the series against Australia
in September 2007. He would later go on to
lead India to World Cup win in 2011, for which
he received enormous praise from cricket legend
and his then teammate Sachin Tendulkar.
During 2009, he scored 1198 runs in just 24
innings to equal Ricky Ponting's score in
30 innings in that calendar year. He also
stayed at the top of the ICC ODI Batsman rankings
for several months in 2009.
He led India to victory in the 2011 World
Cup. In the final match against Sri Lanka,
he promoted himself up the batting order and
played a match winning knock of 91 not out.In
2013, he captained India to victory in the
ICC Champions Trophy and became the only captain
to have won all the ICC trophies, i.e Test
Mace, ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy.
