DHONI - BIOGRAPHY
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Jharkhand boy, lauded for his dashing batting and model looks is a huge favorite among the cricket following Indian youths. He has the aggressiveness needed in modern cricket and has the composure to perform mature knocks. He is one of the most exciting find in the Indian cricket’s recent years.

DHONI - CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Mahendra Singh Dhoni can be a swashbuckling with the bat and secure with the wicketkeeping gloves. His neck-length hair adds to his dash. Though Dhoni made his first-class debut in the 1999-2000 season, it was only in 2004 that he became a serious contender for national selection. In just his fifth one-dayer, against Pakistan at Vishakapatnam, he cracked a dazzling 148 - putting even Sehwag in the shade - and followed that up with a colossal 183 not out at Jaipur against Sri Lanka in November, when he broke Adam Gilchrist's record for the highest score by a wicketkeeper in ODIs.

Dhoni made an instant impact on the Test level too, pounding 148 at Faisalabad, in only his fifth Test, when India were struggling to avoid the follow on, and established himself as one of the critical members of a revitilised side. Though he struggled with the bat in the West Indies, he wicketkeeping was top-class, especially when standing up to the stumps against the spinners. He was elevated to the vice-captaincy of the one-day squad for the tour of England and Ireland in 2007.
