81st Blog – Wish you a Very Happy Birthday “The Cool Captain”


              Mahendra Singh Dhoni – A name that contains every formula of Leadership and who know how to lead and be calm in worst-est of conditions. His name is now enough to introduce him on the pages of world cricket. He is the most successful Captain and Wicket-Keeper in India ever. Also in the ground he known as Captain Cool and recently as “Iceman”. He was born as in Ranchi on 7 of July 1981. He has done his studies in his home town Ranchi. His father name is Pan Singh Dhoni and mother name is Devki Devi. He has two sibling, one sister and one brother. Presently he is the captain in all forms of Indian International Cricket team (i.e. T-20, One day and Test)

           In just 4 years of captaincy, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has emerged as one of India's most successful captain, this cricket crazy country has seen. The captain cool has led the team to many first under his captaincy. He led Team India to No. 1 in the ICC Test Rankings for the first time in December 2009 and also closed the gap with Australia in one days after winning the coveted 2011 Cricket World Cup. He started his captaincy career with the shortest format of the game and immediately led an inexperienced India Twenty20 squad to the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 victory in South Africa in September 2007. Soon after returning victorious in the World Twenty20, he was made the India's one-day international captain for the seven-match ODI series against Australia in September 2007. After serving the team as vice-captain for a while, Dhoni was made full-time Test captain of India during the fourth Test against Australia at Nagpur in November 2008 replacing Anil Kumble, who announced his retirement after the third Test. He made his mark in the international cricket soon after his ODI debut in December 2004 against Bangladesh. He scored a match-winning 148 against Pakistan in Visakhapatnam off 123 balls in his fifth ODI and announced his arrival in the international arena. Dhoni made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in December 2005. Similar to his one-day career, he slammed his maiden century (148) against Pakistan in 2006. His maiden ton came off 93 balls and is the fastest hundred scored by an Indian wicket-keeper. By winning the Hyderabad Test against Australia on Tuesday by an innings and 135 runs, Mahindra Singh Dhoni surpassed Sourav Ganguly as India's most successful Test captain.

           Dhoni has 29 Test wins, one more than Ganguly who held the record previously. To add to this record figure Dhoni also has the T20 World Cup win in 2007 and the ICC ODI World Cup win in 2011 under his belt as a testament to his success as a captain who has lead his troops in all formats of the game. Recently he was also the captain of team who won the prestigious ICC Champions Trophy. After winning ICC Championship trophy, Dhoni became the first Caption who won all the Major title as a caption and this achievement is remarkable. It can be rightly said that Sourav Ganguly did the bulk of the hard work to build Team India, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble added the much-needed boost to the growth process. Dhoni also did his share of the work; the result is the success that India has enjoyed in the last decade.

           “All Indian will never forget your contribution of an Inning and Last Six in the Final Match of 2011 Cricket World Cup. Thanks to giving us an opportunity to celebrate the throne of World Cricket after 28 long Years.”

           Wish you a Little belated Happy Birthday “The Cool Caption”. Almighty give him a good health, luck and a prosperous life.
