Indian Star Cricketer and ex-ODI captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni celebrates his birthday today!

Ranked as one of the highest paid sportspersons in the world, Dhoni, fondly called as Mahi or MSD, has come a long way in his cricketing career. Being the only Indian captain after Kapil Dev to lead India to a World Cup victory in the ODI format, he has also led India to a victory in the maiden T20 World Cup. His records as a captain and a cricketer speak for themselves! But there are so many things that intrigue us about the cricketer and here are just a few of them.

  • MSD comes from a family that knows what it means to struggle. But he never gave up on his dreams. Before he made his big debut on the international cricketing scene he worked as a ticket collector at Kharagpur Railway Station from 2001-2003 to support his family.
  • His temperament is something we can all try and emulate. He was nominated to be the captain of the Indian cricket team by Sachin Tendulkar because the master batsmen was in awe of his calm and cool temperament.
  • He has been inducted as an honorary Lieutenant Colonel in the Parachute Regiment by the Indian Army and has reiterated several times that he is looking forward to serving the army and the nation once he retires from International Cricket as it was one of his earliest childhood dreams. A true patriot!
  • MSD is also a true lover of animals and his two dogs – Zarah and Sam hold a very high position in his life.
  • Dhoni is popularly known for his helicopter shot but what people don't know is that that shot was taught to him by former Jharkhand cricketer Santosh Lal. Dhoni admired him so much that he even tried to pay for the former cricketer's treatment but unfortunately couldn't save him.

Dhoni is now a very hands on dad and that can be seen in the Instagram pics that his wife Sakshi posts periodically.
