MSD- A phenomenon

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is still like a work of art in progress. You will surely fall in love with his sixes and in the same way you will also admire if he had to bat out of his skin to save a test match. His glovework is incomparable and inrecognisable from his early miserable days. He has succesfully turned the theory that wicketkeepers can't be winning skippers over the head. He was reported to get tough on seniors and extremely generous to youngsters. A few things which I like about him is clarity of mind, strength of conviction and originality. It requires enormous reserves of strength, both physical and mental to rise above the friction which is the bane of an Indian skipper. Somehow in between his his responsibility as a batsman, keeper, skipper, motivater media, social commitments and etc etc MSD hasn't slipped from his exciting cricket standards and cricket is still his priority. Dhoni has managed in a year what skippers don't achieve in a lifetime. Every milestone of his has been a breakthroughmoment fo Indian Cricket. Twenty20 World Cup, wins in Australia and Sri Lanka and now an expected series triumph against the test champions would certainly inspire generations. He has given a thrust to Indian Cricket at the right transitional moment. It has been one of the game's mysteries and life as how unconventional heroes emerge from the unlikeliest of sources. Dhoni, with his background, his unorthodox grounding and a technique which surely isn't a purist's delightis a classic example. He is like a prized fighter in the ring who knows the art of survival and can turn the game in an instant. CHEERS MSD!!
