M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story Page #2

Ready?

- Yes, sir.

Throw.

You don't

punch the ball in cricket.

You catch the ball. Understood?

- Yes, sir.

Ready.

Come on, throw, throw.

Are you trying to

catch a ball or a fish?

Catch it. No problem!

Concentrate!

Keep your eyes on the ball

right till the end!

Very good!

Yes, that's it. Correct.

Very good. Very good.

Very good.

That's it! That's it!

Very good!

Good. Very good!

Come here.

Hey, stop!

Would you like to do wicket-keeping

for the school team?

Sir, I like to bat more than

anything in cricket.

Concentrate on your

wicket-keeping first.

But sir..

- I said wicket-keeping.

You must practise everyday

for two hours after school. Okay?

Can I keep the gloves?

Keep them.

Shabbir,

give him the inners as well.

Take care of them.

Yes, sir.

- They are school property.

I'm only allowing this

as a special case.

Sister!

Sister!

- What?

Look.

- What is that?

Wicket-keeping gloves.

I've been selected

for the school team.

All play and no work

will ruin your life.

All work and no play

will help you succeed.

All work and no

play will ruin my life.

All play and no work

will make me succeed.

Mahi, wait!

Mahi!

Mom,

Mahi wants to say something.

Tell her.

What is it, Mahi?

Mom, I've been selected

for the school's cricket team.

So?

So, I have to practise for

2 hours every day after school.

And your studies?

I'll do it when I come back.

Honestly.

Just talk to dad.

Please, Mom.

And his studies?

- He'll do it after he comes back.

What do you mean by he'll do it?

- He'll manage.

His heart is set on it.

Come here.

Yes, Dad.

When did you catch

this cricket fever?

Today.

Fine, but don't let

it affect your studies.

Not even a bit.

- Yes.

What am I?

What do I do?

- You're a pump operator.

That's why I keep insisting

that you study.

Don't be like me.

Sports has its own importance.

But only if you study hard

will you be successful.

Understand?

Yes.

Go.

It's so hard to get

a government job these days.

"Smear 'Malai' on the face

of the sun."

"Ride the foolish clouds."

"Smear 'Malai' on the face

of the sun."

"Ride the foolish clouds."

"We open our books to study"

"and they teach us

about the Panipat War."

"Listen to your heart

and be a brave-heart."

"Fear will get you nothing."

"All work and no play

will help you succeed."

"All play and no work

will ruin your life."

"All work and no play

will ruin your life."

"All play and no work

will make you succeed."

How much is that for?

Rs. 400 for that one.

- Oh, no!

And this one?

- Rs. 200.

Fine, how much for this one?

- Rs. 80.

Hurry up,

I'm getting late for practice.

Who told you to schedule

the practice on Sunday?

Yes

- Fine, final price is 60.

I won't pay more than 50.

He won't give it.

Let's go, let's go.

50 isn't possible.

- Okay, fine.

Ma'am..

Good shot! Who's next?

What are you doing?

You're bowling so short.

Come on, Sanjay.

Good ball, good ball. Next!

Great!

- Good shot again!

Next, quickly!

Aakash?

- Yes, Mahi.

Will you let me bat for a while?

Mr. Banerjee only

makes me do wicket-keeping.

What are you doing?

Bowl properly.

No.. I said 50.

Okay, 55 and it's yours.

Oh, God!

- 50 and that's final.

Just give it to her!

- Okay.

Weigh it first. Come on.

- Quickly.

Give him 50.

- I am, hold on.

Fine?

- Fine, fine.

Cut the pieces.

Mahi is stretching like

he's going to whack the ball.

Sanjay, bowl him an easy ball.

Whoa!

Good shot, Mahi, good shot!

Here's your money.

Take it.

What's the hurry?

You don't understand anything.

- Yes!

Because you're the

only smart one!

Taking me shopping during

practice hours.

Wait, wait, wait.

Now hurry up.

Are you seated?

- Yes.

Get off, get off.

Get off quickly!

Be careful! - Okay.

- Godspeed!

Good shot, Mahi!

Hello, Mr. Pan Singh.

- Hello. Hello.

Let's buy some bangles.

- Yes, sure.

Mom, Mom.

Mom, listen.

Huh?

What?

- Mom..

Mom.

Can I buy that?

Lord Hanuman?

- No, the one next to that.

Which God is that?

And that's a strange

crown he's wearing.

What will you do with that?

Mom,

just buy that for me please.

Look, he has hung Sachin's

poster on the wall.

Why did you buy it?

What could I do?

I saw his expression

and I couldn't say no.

Don't think too much.

You know what happens

to sportsmen, don't you?

I know he likes to play, but..

All I want is for him to

study and get a decent job.

Is that all?

Will that make you happy?

Yes, it will.

What if Mahi isn't happy with that?

What do you mean?

I watch him

and kids his age.

My heart says

that he is not going to stop

at these small milestones.

Just wait and watch.

From the bus stand end,

right arm over the wicket.

And that's.. That's a miss!

- Oh, no!

That was a really good ball.

Hey..

- Straight to the keeper's hand.

It's getting really hard

for DAV School to score.

Prashant Sharma is

a really good bowler.

In the previous match

he took three wickets

and did a hat-trick.

Making things difficult

for DAV School.

Let's see what DAV School's

strategy is going to be.

Come on. Come on!

The match is

at an interesting point.

DAV needs 12 runs to win,

with just 4 balls remaining

and 3 wickets in hand.

And now the next ball.

And that's out!

He's clean bowled.

It seems like the match is

slipping out of DAV's hands.

DAV needs 12 runs to win.

There are 3 balls left

and I can see a new player

coming to the ground.

Careful.

- His name is Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

I know you won't listen.

Will you score if I give you

the strike? - I'll try.

Then I would rather try myself.

Come on..

It's going to be tough

for DAV School.

Prashant Sharma is bowling

from the Khairali end.

Prashant Sharma, gesturing

for a change in the

fielding positions.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni ready for

bowler Prashant Sharma.

Bowling right hand over the wicket.

And he has smashed that!

The ball is soaring

through the air!

Go, Mahi!

The second ball from

Prashant Sharma.

The viewers are waiting.

This is a golden opportunity

for DAV Shyamali.

Two balls to go

and six runs required.

Prashant Sharma.

Six!

Yay!

Hit towards the bus stand!

With that six, DAV has stolen

the match from under their nose.

The sky is clear and it's

a good a day to play cricket.

DAV Shyamali

and Khairali's captains

are in the middle of

the field for the toss.

Heads.

And DAV Shyamali has

won the toss.. - Batting.

...and elected to bat first.

What do you think, Mr. Tiwari?

Right or wrong?

Mr. Shukla, let's see

how the match plays out.

Well said.

This is the batting order, follow it.

- Okay.

Excuse me, sir.

- What?

I haven't got a chance to bat

for the last 8 matches.

You'll get it today,

their bowling is really strong.

With your permission,

can I open today?

What?

Sir, Shabbir and Anuj

open every time.

Give me one chance too.

Fine,

we'll see in the next match.

The next match is with RPS.

- So?

What's the point in

scoring against a weak team?
