M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story Page #10

Mahi.

Mahi, there's a horde

of media outside.

The car's parked at the back.

But my bag..

- We'll deal with that, let's go.

Move, move!

Move.

Mahi!

Mahi!

Mahi!

Mahi!

Mahi!

Where's Chittu?

- He called.

He said he'll meet you

directly at home.

Give me your phone.

Yes.

- Mahi speaking.

Oh.. - Why aren't you

answering my calls?

Well, I was stuck and..

Did you find out?

Yes.. Well, no.

I mean,

I'll tell you when we meet.

What's wrong, Chittu?

Well..

P-Priyanka met with an accident

on the 14th.

Please stop the car.

Why? What's wrong, Mahi?

- Please stop for a minute.

There's something I need to do,

you guys go ahead.

What.. I mean, we'll wait.

How will you get back home?

- I'm telling you.

'Mahi, are you sure?'

'We do have a lot of time, right?'

India beaten by Bangladesh

by 5 wickets.

The faces say it all.

Mahi!

Good morning, sir.

How are you, sir?

Watching your success

makes me proud.

It's all thanks

to people like you, sir.

There's something I have wanted

to tell you for a long time now.

Yes, sir?

Mahi, it's not like

I didn't want to

or couldn't send you

to Kolkata that day.

But since I was busy

with meetings

I didn't realise that you..

Don't hold that against me.

Don't think like that, sir.

Keep going like this.

And don't get complacent.

- Yes.

You still have a long way to go.

- Yes.

And aggression suits you.

Don't try to play defensive.

Bless you.

- Thank you, sir.

What a setting

for the first World T-20 final!

We are in Johannesburg

and at 'The Bullring'

one of the great stadiums

in world cricket.

13 needed from 6.

That's a huge wide!

Misbah goes big!

It's huge, it's a six!

Just six needed now for Pakistan!

And M.S. Dhoni walking up

to his bowler to have a chat.

Sree!

It's up in the air..

Sreesanth

takes it!

India have beaten Pakistan

to win the World T-20 title!

The celebrations begin!

It's a young Indian team

that lifts the T-20 World Cup

with all the big boys resting.

Now he's going to wreak havoc.

Yes.

Mahi, time for the tele-conference.

Sure.

Hi, M.S.

- Hi, sirs.

Hi.

- Hi.

So, as you know, today's

agenda is to.. - Excuse me, sir.

Before we start this discussion,

can I say something?

Yes, sure.

Sir, if we want to win

we must take some tough calls.

I'm taking a tough call today

as a captain

and I want you, sirs, to take

an important call as selectors

who want the betterment

of Indian cricket.

What's the matter, M.S?

Sir, three players

no longer fit the ODI team.

They are very slow

as fielders, sir

and the format

needs fitter players.

Age is not the issue, sir,

fitness is.

But M.S, they are still

very good as batsmen.

No doubt, sir.

But due to their fielding

we never succeed

in choking the opposition.

The result is that they

keep rotating the strike

and we can't build

pressure on them.

And here in Australia,

the grounds are bigger.

This also has an adverse effect

on the other team members.

It reduces their morale.

I'm a sportsman myself.

I can understand they

don't want to give up

but the fact of the matter is

that we just can't

have them in the team.

Sir, a bowler will take wickets

a good batsman will

make runs in some matches.

But a good fielder will save

runs for you in every match.

We've just lost

the test series, M.S.

Do you think we can

turn it around in One Days?

Sir, I can't promise you that.

But this will definitely

start a process.

And I think we should also

be looking at the 2011 World Cup.

The sooner we make a core team,

the better chances we'll have.

But M.S, the World Cup

is three years later.

Sir, only three years

to the World Cup.

We have to let these three go.

At least for this tour,

and then decide.

This will have

large scale implications.

And he is a huge servant

of Indian Cricket.

Precisely, sir,

we're all servants

and we're all

doing national duty.

I know they will feel bad.

The media is going to burn us.

People will feel bad.

But if we're right and if we

achieve results in the future

then people will understand

why we did what we did.

I think, sir, more than players

we need characters.

Characters who want

to express themselves.

Characters who are desperate.

If we invest in the youth today

only then can we expect

results in the future.

M.S, we'll reconnect with you

in 10 minutes. - Right.

Sure, sir.

He's pretty new to this game.

He'll understand

when it's his time.

How I see it is that he has

got results in T-20 World Cup.

He's eyeing One Day World Cup.

That's mistimed in the air

and Chawla takes it!

India win the

Commonwealth Bank Series!

They've beaten Australia

by 10 runs.

Orient fan's air

reaches every corner.

Switch to smart.

Lava never lets you down.

For instant pickup, I use Gulf

Pride 4T Plus Bike Engine Oil.

Whether the fight's on the field

or against pimples on the face

I will always win with

Garnier Men Face wash.

Whether it's cricket or insurance

a long relationship

is all about trust.

Exide Life Insurance.

Yes.

M.S. these guys have arrived.

- Coming.

Excuse me.

- Yes, sir.

I think I've misplaced my keycard.

- No problem, sir.

Please follow me.

This way, please.

Please, sir.

Sir, could you help me

with your name, please?

Sorry?

- Sir, your name.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Okay.

Sir, your room number?

- 601.

Right.

Could I have some ID, please?

I don't have any ID.

Actually, it's in my room

and I've locked myself out.

Sorry, sir,

I need to see some ID.

Sakshi, right?

- Yes, sir.

Sakshi, tell me something.

Why will I pretend

to be Mahendra Singh Dhoni?

I don't know, sir.

It's..

Actually, I am interning

with this hotel

and this is what we've

been instructed to do.

Okay, Sakshi,

why don't we do this?

You take my keycard,

we'll go to my room.

And then I'll show you my ID.

Will that be okay?

Yes..

Mr. Sanjay, could I do that?

- Yes, please.

See, we can.

- Sure, sir. Please.

This way.

Just a second.

Thank you, sir.

- Okay.

Have a good day, sir.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- You too.

There she is.

What happened, guys?

Sakshi, do you really

not know who it is?

I.. I'm so sorry, sir.

I didn't recognise you.

Thank you. It's okay.

Actually, I don't like cricket,

so I'm..

I'm so sorry,

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm really sorry,

I didn't mean to..

Can I have your autograph?

- I'm sorry?

Just a second.

Damn!

You were doing your job.

You really didn't

care about anything.

It's rare.

Can I have your autograph?

- But sir, I..

It's okay.

- That's so embarrassing.

How can I..

- Go for it.

Okay.

Have a good day, sir.

- I'm having one, Sakshi.

Sir, thank you.

'Does Dhoni not want

to play with Viru?'

'Do the two have

personal differences?'

'Are Viru and Dhoni fighting?'

'Is Mahi angry with Viru?'

'Why has Mahi removed Viru

from the One Day team?'

'Is this the reason

for the divide in Team India?'

All right, leadership skills

in hospitality do demand
