MS Dhoni is likely the third most popular Indian cricketer of all time, trailing only Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. He rose from the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, a cricketing backwater, to the top with a home-made batting and wicketkeeping technique, as well as a captaincy style that scaled the highs and hit the lows of both conservatism and unorthodoxy.
Dhoni – Thala for a reason!
Dhoni led India to victory in all formats, including leading the Test rankings for 18 months beginning in December 2009, winning the 50-over World Cup in 2011, and winning the T20 World Cup on his captaincy debut in 2007.
At 23, he appeared to be fully formed when he blasted two centuries in a triangular 50-over tournament for India A in Nairobi. Long-haired and fearless, he swaggered his way into international cricket, becoming an instant crowd favourite with ODI innings of 148 and 183 not out within a year of his debut.
Dhoni brought to the captaincy a thick skin and the relative indifference to results that an Indian captain requires in order to keep the job for an extended period of time. Together with India’s coach, Gary Kirsten, he put his senior players at ease, and they repaid him by having some of their best years in international cricket.
Dhoni’s sense of calm on the field mostly worked in the shorter formats, though he occasionally sat back for too long in Tests. Nonetheless, India had some of their best years in Test cricket in terms of tangible achievement under him, with a win-loss ratio of 1.5 in the 60 Tests he led.
