The spectacular arrival of Virender Sehwag was bound to inspire others to bat with the same mindset. But the odds of a clone emerging from the backwaters of Jharkhand, whose state side has consistently scraped the bottom, was highly remote. That was until Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived.He announced his arrival into the international arena in 2004-05 with a bang. MS Dhoni has come a long way with his strutting and aggressive brand of cricket. He is a destroyer of bowling attacks and often a great finisher. If he is spectacular with the bat, he is secure with the keeping gloves. Dhoni's batting consists of shots and strokes which are anything but orthodox and conventional. His playing style reinforces that one should look at the ball and not the bowler. Born in Ranchi, 'Mahi' displayed wonderful potential of a great leader after he led India to victory in the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in 2007. The icing on the cake was the triangular series win against Australia in Australia in 2008.He now plays the role of sheet anchor who holds one end of the fort while the other batsmen make sure the ball finds the fence often. His maturity as a solid batsman was witnessed when India were 82-8 against West Indies. Dhoni and RP Singh put on a 101-run stand as the skipper shielded his tail-ender and made sure runs came from the other end. Another characteristic of Dhoni is that he always seems unfazed by what is happening around him. He is India's 'man with a plan'. |
