Breif about Dhoni


Mahendra Singh Dhoni started his first class career in the year 1999-2000. His 1st international debut came after playing five years of first class cricket on the 23rd of December 2004 against Bangladesh. The venue for that match is Chittagong, which is in Bangladesh. Unfortunately, he was run out on the first ball he faced. It was not a great debut for him where batting is concerned. Luck was not on his side in the first 4matches he had played. Where as on the 5th match which was played against Pakistan in Vizag, Dhoni came to the crease one down and knocked 148 runs from just 123 balls. He hit 15 boundaries and four sixes. He got his first man of the match award that day. Not only a good wicketkeeper but Dhoni proved himself to be a first class batsman too. He is one of the few finest wicketkeeper batsman India has seen after a very long time. 31st of October was the day which Dhoni broke the record of highest runs scored by a wicket keeper by scoring 183 runs against celon(srilanka) which was held at Jaipur. Adam Gilchrist was the former record holder with 172 runs.Before he started playing cricket, he was a football goalkeeper. Dhoni drinks around four litres of milk everyday but he denied it by saying that has been exaggerated a bit. He said he loves milk and drinks around a litre on a daily basis.On the 2nd of December 2005, Dhoni made his Test cricket debut against Srilanka which was played in Chennai, India.
