He is the David Beckham of Indian cricket. His smooth moves,
powerful batting, his copious amount of endorsement deals and the
variety of hairstyles have often drawn parallels with the worldwide
famous football player. He is the captain of the Indian cricket team. He
is India's rock; he is the fixer-upper, problem solver, decision maker
and the team maker. Without him Indian cricket, in all probability,
would be lost like a flock of sheep without their shepherd. He is the
phenom known as Mahendra Singh Dhoni or lovingly abbreviated as M S
Dhoni. You are not a true Indian if you do not know who he is, but if
you do, you would only be happy to get to know him better. Here are few
