While many of the fans reckon that it’s time for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to retire from international cricket, there’s still one place in the digital world where he is still the captain of the Indian cricket team. The official website of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (www.bcci.tv) still shows Dhoni as the captain of the team in its profile section.
Recently after a couple of failures in the ODIs, Dhoni has been under the scanner of many, both from the cricket fraternity and the fans, who reckon he should call it a day. He scored a 59-ball 37 at Lord’s and then followed it up with a 66-ball 42 in the decider at Leeds against England which India eventually went on to lose by eight wickets and in the process also lost the three-match rubber.

He is arguably India’s most successful captain having won almost everything a captain dreams of. He put an end to India’s 28-year World Cup drought when he led his team to glory in the 2011 World Cup giving India a reason to celebrate amongst many other victories under his leadership. As a cricketer, he has an enviable record, yet it is his modesty underscored by a steely confidence that leaves people in awe.
From the man that hit the headlines back in 2004 to the crisp and shrewd thinking brain that led India to innumerable victories, MS Dhoni has come a long way. They say the brain and brawn is a lethal combination and Dhoni is synonymous to both in his own way.
