M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story Page #3

They are both

padded up and ready.

I'll talk to them, sir.

Just a minute.

Hey, listen!

Mr. Shukla

both teams are really enthusiastic.

Anything can happen in today's game.

That's what I predict.

Let's see what happens.

Sir, Anuj is ready.

Can Shabbir and I open?

First tell me what you said to them.

Mr. Banerjee!

- Yes, coming.

Go.

- Thank you, sir.

Listen.

- Yes, sir?

Don't be in a hurry to return.

- Yes, sir.

Shabbir Hussain and

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

will be opening

for DAV Shyamali.

Play carefully.

Mr. Banerjee won't

give you a second chance.

I'll take the strike,

just don't get me run out.

What?

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

usually comes in at No. 6

but is set to open today.

What are your thoughts on

this Mr. Tiwari? Right or wrong?

Let's see how the match plays out.

First ball of the over.

Shorakat Chowdhary.

Pacing towards the pitch

and the first ball.

And he has smashed it!

Six runs!

- Brilliant!

Wait a minute, I know that boy!

He's a hard hitter, Mr. Shukla.

He hit two straight sixes

and won the last

match for his team.

He's really good!

How many viewers do you

see on the ground right now?

Roughly 15-16 people.

Why are you asking?

Mr. Shukla,

let this boy play for an hour.

And you'll see a different

scenario altogether.

That's superb!

- Beautiful shot!

Six runs!

- Great shot!

Mahi is smashing the ball.

- What do you mean?

How many wickets did we lose?

He has opened the innings today.

Girish, look after the shop.

The next bowler is ready

and he has bowled to Dhoni.

And Dhoni has hit that

hard for 4 runs!

Awesome!

- Well done!

What a player!

Amazing!

And that's a 50!

Amazing!

You're playing really well.

Keep at it. Play carefully.

Ma'am, Mahi is smashing the ball!

That's great!

- That calls for a holiday. - Yes.

Dhoni's batting is

spreading its magic.

Children are

flocking to the ground!

Yes, yes, yes!

That's great!

That's Dhoni's second century!

Double century for him!

I'm proud of you.

He has unravelled the opposition!

Hello. - Hello, please

connect me to Mr. Somi.

Please hold, I'll connect you.

Call for you.

Hello.

- Hello, Mr. Somi.

Param speaking from Ranchi.

Param, I gave you this

number only for emergencies.

This is an emergency.

Remember that boy, Dhoni?

I spoke to you about

sponsoring his cricket kit.

Yes, you keep calling

up regularly for him

and I keep saying no.

What's his name? Dhoni.

Yes, that's him.

You know,

he scored 213 runs in 150 balls.

And in a single day.

His game is getting

better day by day.

I just wanted to

give you this good news.

Okay, are you done?

Can I hang up now?

- Yes.

I'll call you again tomorrow

for the sponsorship.

And I'm coming

to Jalandhar at the month's end.

Goodbye.

- Don't come!

Hello, Param.

Lord.

How much?

'And now for sports news.'

'India was eliminated from

the 1999 World Cup competition.'

'While playing against

New Zealand in Trent Bridge'

'India won the toss'

'and elected to bat first.'

'Ajay Jadeja made

the highest score'

'of 76 runs on behalf of India.'

'India made 251 runs in 50 overs.'

'The New Zealand team..'

Come on, Mahi, it's quite late.

Chotu, I don't think this one's

going to last for too long.

Why do you hit so hard?

Use it gently.

I hit gently.

It's you who thinks I hit hard.

Girish, close the shop.

May I ride it?

- Here.

Chotu,

the MRF bat which Sachin uses..

How much does that cost?

MRF only makes tires.

Sachin has been paid to

put the MRF sticker on his bat.

People pay good players

to put their stickers on their bats.

That's great.

And Dad, everyone says

that Mahi plays really well.

And if he keeps playing like this

someday he will make it really big.

When do his exams begin?

- Day after tomorrow.

And you know, his Under-19

trials are coming up too.

Just a second.

How are your studies coming along?

- Just fine.

My exams start day after tomorrow.

Will you pass?

That's what I want

to talk to you about.

The Office Leagues

begin day after tomorrow.

Trials begin at 11 a.m. everyday.

But will you appear

for your exams?

The exam starts at 8 a.m.

If I finish my paper by 10:30

and catch the 10:45 passenger train

I'll make it to the ground on time.

Yes.

Will you finish your 3 hour

paper in 2.5 hours?

It's difficult,

but I'll get through.

That must be Chittu with the notes.

I'll be right back.

What?

Listen, listen! - Water.

- Don't worry so much.

Drink some water.

- I'll drink the water

but how will he finish his 3 hour

paper in 2.5 hours?

Like I said,

let him do what he's doing.

Leave him be.

You worry too much.

"The roads run faster

than your feet can."

"What you want from life

is way beyond the ordinary."

"The roads run faster

than your feet can."

"What you want from life

is way beyond the ordinary."

"Why think too much?

Where do you want to go?"

"Just go where destiny takes you."

"Impatience."

"Impatience."

"Impatience."

"Impatience."

No, Param.

We never sponsor any

non-established player.

That's not our policy.

Sir, the boy's very special.

He just needs your support.

Exactly, it's not

possible to support him.

Goodbye.

You can support

Pakistani players

but not someone

from our own country.

No drama, no emotional drama..

Understand?

Tell me something.

What's his name?

- Dhoni. - Dhoni.

Is Dhoni like Tendulkar?

No. Dhoni is Dhoni.

All that boy needs

is an opportunity

and someday

he'll make it really big.

And one day you will

remember what I said.

Okay,

when are you going to Ranchi?

My train leaves tonight.

Fine, you go on.

I'll think about it

and get back to you

in two days. Okay?

Then why don't I

stay back for two days?

I'm sure you'll think

of doing some good.

And you'll be doing

that poor boy a favour.

How do you benefit from all this?

Why are you advocating that boy?

What's his name?

Dhoni.

- Yes, Dhoni.

What's your interest in all this?

I have a very big interest.

Even I loved cricket.

But had no talent.

But this boy is really talented.

If he makes it big someday

it will make me feel like

I played too.

"Clouds will bow down

before you"

"as long as you feel this way."

"Your wealth and your treasure"

"are this determination

and this passion of yours."

"Why stop the inevitable?"

"Just go where destiny takes you."

"Impatience."

"Impatience."

"Impatience."

"Impatience."

Dhoni, 2 balls and 5 runs.

Good shot!

- Yay!

Hello, sir. You called me.

- Yes, Pan Singh. How are you?

Fine, sir. - I've heard a lot

of praise for Mahi's game.

Yes.

Don't worry about his career.

- Yes.

Cricket will shape his career.

- By the grace of the Goddess.

He has great potential.

It shouldn't be wasted, that's all.

What stipend is the

Steel Authority giving Mahi?

Rs. 625 monthly, sir

and Rs. 25 for practice as well.

Will Mahi join

the Central Coal Fields?

I already had a word with them.

His stipend will be 1500.

Mahi's stipend will be higher
