MS Dhoni : King Midas of Cricket.

This is my first write up, there might be a lot of errors. Yes, definitely ironic to the man I am writing about : MS Dhoni, who makes no mistakes or let's say minimal ones. His ODI debut against Bangladesh was not a memorable start to his career, anyone seeing him returning back to the pavilion without troubling the scorers would have thought "Ah! another hyped youngster down the gutter", yes we fans sometimes become cruel critics. After a string of average performances in that series, surprisingly his selection for the Pakistan series proved to be fruitful and that is where the Dhoni era started.

Rising through the ranks like a true soldier, this man started impressing everyone with his performances again and again. Captaining the Indian team for a decade, he earned the tag of "Captain Cool", because usually Captains of any sports team are usually domineering, aggressive and extremely authoritative. All of these qualities were never seen in MSD. He changed the regular to irregular with the "Midas Touch".

A reserved person who never displayed his emotions outside, started winning matched using his tactical knowledge and creative thinking, which became his identity making him unique. The only Captain to win all the ICC Trophies, did not shine much in Cricket's toughest format : Test Matches, as a player but also held a decent record as a captain. His 224 vs Australia in Chennai during 2013 will be everyone's favorite, especially for the people of Chennai who adopted him as their most loved son in the year 2008. Yes, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) definitely holds a special place in his life, not just because of the trophies, awards and matches won, but when he was quizzed about CSK's return after the 2 year ban, he almost broke down.

I conclude by saying this, as a huge MS Dhoni fan just like millions of others around the globe,he doesn't need to prove anything, people need to prove their loyalty towards him and not being a plastic. Cheers ! - Lv Chandur #LvChandurWrites #MSDhoni #CSK #Yellove #WhistlePodu #Post1 (May 1 2020)
