Celebrating his 37th birthday, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is receiving a billion wishes from around the world while he is off on national duty in West Indies. During his mission in the Caribbean, let’s have a look at few things about ‘Mahi.’
Love for camouflage and army too: From his armour – gloves, which he wears standing behind the wicket to his bag-pack which he carries to the dressing room, Dhoni’s life is all ‘camouflaged.’ It doesn’t mean he just loves the look of camouflage but also the Indian Army.
In one of his famous quotes which make us respect his stature as Indian, Dhoni had said “I focus on cricket because it's something I am good at. After retiring, I want to serve in the army. It was always been about serving the nation.”
No alcohol please.... but you can gulp if you wish to: Most of us have watched in the Movie ‘M S Dhoni: The Untold Story’about his dislike towards alcohol. In one of the sequences in the film, he tries to persuade his friend to quit drinking. However, movies are fictional even though they are based on the real incident or personalities.
‘I find liquor has a bitter taste, so I don't drink alcohol but understand that other people enjoy it.’ This is his personal view on alcohol which has to be known by his fans.
On National duty, please wait: A week before fulfilling a billion people’s dream to win the 2011 World Cup, Dhoni was blessed with a baby girl. He was asked whether his baby’s birth was playing in his mind. Replying to this query, he said “No. I am on national duty. Everything else can wait.”
Love for wheels: There are a lot of things which he loves, and one among many things is his love for two-wheelers. He currently owns 23 bikes. Recently he partnered with Akkineni Nagarjuna to buy a Supersport World Championship Team which is named as Mahi Racing Team India.
As emotional as his calmness: Be it 2007 T20 World Cup or 2011 World Cup, the pressure can’t shake his composure off. But there is also an emotional side to our former captain. Losing in World Cup T20 2016 semi-final against West Indies, India was shattered and so was Dhoni. During the presentation ceremony of the match, Dhoni’s eyes were moist which can never be forgotten by Indians.
