MS DHONI: MY GOD OF CRICKET

By Shubham Dalmia on 6th July 2020

In India cricket is not just a game it’s an emotion for every fans, and everybody has there own story of loving cricket, watching cricket or playing cricket and today I’m going to share about how MS Dhoni is the reason why I loved Cricket so much.

In his 39th birthday I’m going to share what MS Dhoni mean to me. I am not going to write what he had done or acheived in his life because every Cricket fan or Dhoni fan already know about his acheivement and everyone sure had watched his movie MS DHONI:THE UNTOLD STORY.

I was 7 year old when I first saw him playing and before him I was a fan of Sourav Ganguly because I’m from Kolkata and he is our prince. So when I understood cricket very well and just then MS DHONI came into the side and when he scored 148 against Pakistan and that was something which attracts me the way he batted whole innings and after that innings I thought of having long hair just like DHONI. And because of him I started playing cricket and wanted to be a Cricketer like him and one of the main reason I became a fan of him was that from East there is not many cricketers who had came and conquered the world Cricket like him and Sourav Ganguly.

And one thing I must tell that we haven’t seen what MS Dhoni actually is because he was a pure number 3 batsman and his record as number 3 player is absolutely amazing but when he became the captain he gave the chance to other talented cricketers like Virat Kohli and he sacrifices his batting position and batted at lower middle order and played in that position throughout his career and still manages to score obove 10000 runs and became the best finisher of world cricket of all time. If he had batted at number 3 throughout his career I’m sure many records could have been broken.This shows how much he loves the game and how much passionate he is about the game, this shows his brilliance.

The reason why he is my God of cricket because I don’t think any cricketer from that lower background who came from small town and got respect from not only in world of Cricket but also in the eyes of famous personalities. There is no other player espcially in limited over format who first made great impression with his batting skills, then with his captaincy and then with wicketkeeping. No other wicketkeeper batsman able to perform like him neither in India nor in world. This is the reason why I think he is biggest contributor of INDIAN CRICKET who change the whole perception of people seeing Indian cricket.

What he has achieved for playing in Ipl and the respect he got from the people of Chennai and CSK team can never be matched. He is the only reason of me supporting CSK, but the reason is not csk it bothers least to me what he has done while playing in csk. He is my idol because the way he impressed me with his game, with his attitude, with his smartness as a captain, with his loyalty towards the game. What he has acheived for team India matters me the most what he has achieved is never been done by any captain in world cricket. If he won’t have won any ipl trophies he will still be my God of cricket and csk will always be me favourite ipl team.

Earlier wicketkeeper were not seen as the biggest contributor of the game but Dhoni changed everything and I think he is the first wicketkeeper who got so many fans and now for the first time I think wicketkeepers can also be the idol of young cricketers. No other wicketkeeper batsman acheived more than him and that shows his greatness.

I hope he play for India again because as a childhood fan seeing your idol playing is the best feeling one can ever have. Legends never gets Old.

Happy Birthday MS DHONI: MY GOD OF CRICKET.
