Mahendra Singh Dhoni, whose name makes all the cricket teams in the world tremble. The life story of the once great captain is still unknown to many of us. In today's report of Instant World News, we will know who was the real culprit behind MS Dhoni's rise to such fame in the cricket world since his birth.
General introduction of MS Dhoni
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was born on 07 July 1981. He was born in Ranchi, Bihar. Ranchi is a city surrounded by hilly beauty, peaceful and hardworking. The people of this city are known as middle-class people. MS Dhoni's family was also middle-class. Dhoni spent his childhood running around in the field, playing football, hitting sixes in cricket and hanging out with friends after school. Dhoni's family is not a permanent resident of Ranchi. They came from Lawli village in the Almora district of Uttarakhand state of North India. Dhoni's father's name is Pan Singh Dhoni, and his mother's name is Devaki Devi. The Dhonis had two brothers and a sister. Dhoni was the youngest of three. His elder brother's name is Narendra Singh Dhon, and his elder sister's name is Jayanti Gupta.
Dhoni's father was a government official. Dhoni's father wanted his children to get a permanent job in a bank or any government job. Dhoni was against his hopes because Dhoni did not pay attention to books and notes; his focus was towards the bat and ball. Dhoni's father never stopped him here. Rather, he taught Dhoni that patience and hard work are necessary to be successful. On the other hand, Dhoni's elder brother Narendra Singh Dhoni is a politician and social worker.
He served in the army in his childhood and later left his job and joined politics. However, he does not like to come in front of the media. Rather, he loves to serve people from behind. Many claim that his grandfather is behind Dhoni's success because when Dhoni was performing, his grandfather took over the entire responsibility of the family so that Dhoni could focus on cricket.
Dhoni's educational information
MS Dhoni's first school was DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir School, located in Shyamoli, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. Interestingly, in this educational environment, Dhoni was not good at cricket but at football and badminton. His primary school teacher, R. Krishna Prasad, used to say that MS Dhoni was calm in class but a storm on the playground. Dhoni loved to spend most of his time on the playground from this time.
After this, Dhoni got admitted to the secondary education level at DAV Jawahar VBidya Mondir, Shyamali (High Section). At this time, Dhoni's life changed. Because Dhoni's favourite game was football. He used to play as a goalkeeper in football. His focus shifted from goalkeeper to wicket-keeper in cricket. However, this change did not come naturally, but your sports teacher, Keshav Banerjee, himself asked Dhoni to try wicket-keeping. After that, in 1996, Dhoni became a permanent member of the school cricket team. And in that year, he was called up to the Ranchi Under-16 team.
Dhoni then enrolled in the higher secondary section of the school with a degree in commerce. At that time, Dhoni regularly practised at the Railway Stadium along with Lokhapra. This time was a time of great effort in his life; on the one hand, he tried to give his best in cricket and on the other hand, he read books to get good results in higher secondary. During this time, he was selected for the Central Coal Fields Limited (CCL) team for the first time in 1998. The big news was that Dhoni won the best player title in the Ranchi cricket tournament before his 12th-class exams.
After this, Dhoni studied at Gossner College, Ranchi University with a Bachelor of Commerce, B.Com. While studying at this university, Dhoni got a job in the railway team, and that is why he left his studies. He was working as a TTE (Ticket Collector) at Kharagpur Railway Station. After this, success came in his life in cricket, due to which he did not return to college life later.
MS Dhoni on cricket success
While studying at DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir School, Dhoni caught the attention of the spectators and coaches as a wicketkeeper. In this way, he got a chance to play in the Ranchi Under-16 team in a short time. He gradually progressed. He played for the Under-19 Bihar team in the 1998-99 season and then the Ranji Trophy team in 1999-2000. At that time, he was only 18 years old. His debut was on 25/12/1999 in the Bihar vs Assam match, where Dhoni scored 68 runs and took 5 catches. After that, in 2001, Dhoni got a job in Indian Railways as a TTE (Ticket Collector) at Kharagpur Railway Station. He used to work during the day and practice at night.
This time was a time of two phases in his life. Because this time was his decision time, which one he would keep and which one he would drop. But he kept doing both. After that, in 2004, Dhoni got the opportunity to tour India A to Zimbabwe and Kenya. This tournament was an important time in his life. After that, Dhoni got the opportunity to play against Pakistan A in India A. In that series, he scored 3 fifties in 3 matches and remained not out despite scoring 148 runs in one.
After seeing that game, the then Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq himself praised his game. After that, the selectors of the Indian national team, Prakash Padukone and Ravi Shastri, discussed his name seriously for the first time. In late 2004, when India coach John Wright and captain Sourav Ganguly were looking for a new wicketkeeper, Dhoni's name came up as the next generation of Saba Karim and Parthiv Patel. Finally, on 23 December 2004, Dhoni got the opportunity to play against Bangladesh for the first time. The next series of the Indian team was against Pakistan in 2005. There, Dhoni scored 148 runs off 123 balls. And this innings changed Dhoni's forehead. After that, he never looked back.
Dhoni's gift to the Indian Cricket Board
In 2007, when Dhoni was the captain of the Indian cricket team, India won the T20 World Cup for the first time. After this victory, he became known as "Captain Cool". In 2011, Dhoni himself played an innings of 91 runs in the final, and India won the World Cup after 28 years. In 2013, Dhoni led India to a victory over Sri Lanka in the final, which made India the only captain to win all three major ICC trophies.
It's time to retire from cricket.
MS Dhoni announced his retirement from Test cricket on 30/12/2014. He then announced his retirement from T20 and ODI cricket on 15/08/2020. This day was India's Independence Day. But he is still playing in the IPL. We saw him on the 2025 IPL stage, and his fans are hopeful that we will see him on the 2026 stage as well.
