M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story Page #6

And we stay here

so that he can call us for practice

any time he wants.

Come.

Come in.

Can I keep this here?

- Yes.

There are two rooms here.

- Yes.

This one

and this one.

Close that door.

If you don't close that door,

you can't open this one.

I see.

Come.

This is the bathroom

and this is the kitchen.

There's tea, sugar,

vegetables, everything.

Every ingredient to cook a meal.

Great.

Come.

And this is our garden.

In the railways,

gardens are bigger than the rooms.

We have planted trees here.

Come.

Always keep this door closed.

- Yes.

Sometimes snakes crawl in.

- Through here?

Yes.

It's nice, quite big.

No, three other guys live here.

- Okay.

They have their day shift,

they'll be here soon.

I told Mr. Das

not to teach me all that.

That was right, Deepak.

They are here.

Hey! - How's everything?

- Just great.

Remember I told you about Mahi?

- Yes.

This is him.

Mahi, this is Robin.

- Hello.

Deepak, Jayesh.

- Hello.

He's too young.

How could they give him a job?

Play a match with him

and you will know. - Really?

Yes! - But where will you sleep?

- Anywhere.

Doesn't matter.

Eat your meal

and hit the sack early. - Okay.

You should've seen how

he whacked Mr. Animesh's balls

all over the ground.

He bowled a spinner

and he hit it for a six.

Fast ball, again six.

Six, six, six..

Mister, where does Mr. Sarkar sit?

- There.

There?

- Yes, in the opposite room.

Just a second.

Good morning, sir.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

reporting, sir.

Come.

- Sir.

This is your table and chair.

- Sir.

Good morning, sir.

- Good morning. File this.

Okay, sir.

Did you take your 'picking-up duty'?

- I did yesterday.

That's Mr. Das.

- Good morning, sir.

And that's Mr. Singh.

- Good morning, sir.

8013 UP will arrive

on Platform No. 1.

It was supposed to arrive

at 8:
30 a.m.

but it's running late.

Find out the arrival time.

- Sir!

You will find Ghoshal

in the TC compartment.

Give him this paper

and keep whatever he gives you.

- Sir.

8029 DOWN will arrive

on Platform No. 2 at 9:30 a.m.

You will find Shukla there.

Give him this paper

and then keep the sheet

that he gives you.

Go.

- Okay, sir.

8013 UP Platform No. 1, Ghoshal.

8029 DOWN, No. 2,

Shukla at 9.30 a.m.

Excuse me!

Move aside!

'The train will now

arrive on Platform No. 3'

'instead of Platform No. 1

at 9.30 a.m.'

'Your attention please.'

'8013 UP Steel Express'

'travelling from Tata to Howrah,

is running one hour later'

'than its expected time.'

'This train will arrive

on Platform No. 3'

'instead of Platform No. 1

at 9:
30 a.m.'

'Thank you.'

Both will arrive at the same time!

'May I have your attention please!'

'8013 UP Steel Express'

'from Tata to Howrah,

is running late by one hour.'

Sir, sir.. Mr. Shukla..

Who is Shukla?

I'm Abhijeet Ghoshal.

Here you go.

- Do you have the ticket?

Go and check there.

This is for 8029 DOWN.

Sir.

- Where do you want to go?

Sir, this one.

Just a minute. I'll check.

Please hurry up, the other train's

leaving. I've another copy..

Stop yelling.. - Just a minute.

- ...and let me do my work.

I'm giving it to you.

Sir, help me with my seat, please.

- Come here.

Sir, check my ticket, please.

Here you go.

Move aside, please!

One second, one second.

Sir, both the trains

arrived at the same time.

I tried, but..

- How hard did you try?

Sir, I tried my best.

- Fine.

Train no. 465 is arriving.

- Sir.

Take the fine book and go

to Gate No. 3. - Okay, sir.

All of them are repeat offenders.

Fine them heavily.

Okay, sir.

- Now, go.

How is Dhoni doing?

He missed a train on the first day.

And I already gave him

the 'Platform No. 3' experience.

He's your responsibility, Sarkar.

- Yes, sir.

He's a special case.

- No worries, sir.

But Mr. Das and Mr. Singh

are not taking his recruitment

too well.

We'll see.

May I ask you something, sir?

Yes.

What's so special about him?

Do you still play cricket?

Sometimes, sir.

Play one match with him

and you will find out.

You're back, Mahi!

- Yes.

How was your first day?

- It was a Yorker.

Eat something,

we have to go and practice.

Are you catching a ball or a fish?

Catch! Oh!

Well taken!

Very good!

Very nice!

Please move.

Ticket!

Your ticket, please!

Come, Dilip.

Morning, sir.

- Good morning.

Sit.

- Thank you.

How are you?

- All well, sir.

Did you see yesterday's match?

I did, sir.

The boys have done us proud.

Kaif and Yuvraj were brilliant.

They were too good.

John is doing everything right.

Whether Sourav should have taken

off his jersey is still debatable.

Otherwise, Indian Cricket

is in good hands.

We must think about

the future as well.

Of course. Of course.

Last year,

Makarand Waingankar joined

Karnataka State Cricket Association

as a consultant.

Makarand has achieved

some fantastic results

in getting new talents

from smaller districts.

Some really good players

are coming up

who are outperforming

these state-level players.

BCCI would like to do

the same thing.

We want to open TRDW

which is the

Talent Research Development Wing.

And the focus

will be on B-tier towns.

Sounds nice, sir.

But this will only work when

this body reports

directly to the Board.

If it goes through

the State Cricket Association..

Precisely.

TRDW will report directly

to the board

and the players

will be sent directly

to the National Cricket Academy.

The board wants to appoint

you as the Chairman.

What do you say?

Sir, I'll be honoured.

- Good.

Brijesh will assist you.

Think about the structure.

- Sure.

Let me call a meeting next week

and let's get this going.

- Sure, sir. Sure.

Keep that file on my table

in the morning. - Okay, sir.

Dhoni. Why are you sitting here?

Good evening, sir.

- Good evening.

Just like that, sir.

Sit, sit.

Sit.

Sir, my roommates

are out on duty.

So, whether I sit in my room

or here, it's the same thing.

And what were you thinking?

- Nothing, sir.

Just like that..

Nothing important.

You should open up.

It lightens your heart.

Sir, I keep wondering

as to what I am doing.

I'm a cricketer, but working

as a TC at Kharagpur Station.

It's not that I think

the job is small.

But I don't know

how I'll play ahead.

Only I know what's going on

in my life every day.

First I jog between

8013 UP and 8029 DOWN.

Then I stand at Gate No. 3

and collect fines.

Neither my game's improving

nor am I getting any

opportunity to progress.

Still playing 'Ranji'.

How long will this go on?

Sometimes I feel like quitting

everything and going back.

But then I think of dad.

Every night when

I return to my room

I feel like I'm returning

to the pavilion after getting out.

You asked why I'm sitting here.

This is what I keep thinking

no matter where I sit.

Oh, God!

Were you thinking all that?

Sorry, sir..

But I'm start feeling depressed.

Well, tell me something.

What do you do when

you get bowled a full toss?

Sir?

What do you do when
