M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story Page #8

He's batting really well.

- Absolutely, sir.

Very nice.

Dinesh Karthik,

extremely talented.

Naman Ojha, he's a safe

wicket-keeper and an okay batsman.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

and Deep Dasgupta.

Dhoni's performance in the

Deodhar Trophy was quite good.

He's a good batsman but his

keeping technique is very poor.

But Gopal,

technique isn't everything.

If he's getting results

with his poor technique

then I don't

see a problem in that.

Look, sir, in my opinion..

- One second, one second.

Does he have poor technique

or is he an unconventional player?

There's a difference

between the two.

Great shot!

Mahi! - You've been selected

in the India A Team!

You're in the Zimbabwe

and Kenya Tour! Yes!

Mahi, it's published in the papers.

Come on.

Didn't you hear, Mahi?

Mahi!

We're giving him good news

and he isn't listening.

Let's go, celebrate.

You guys go on,

I'll finish the game and join you.

He's unbelievable. We're going

to celebrate. - Yes, let's go.

Mahi, one more game?

- One second.

I'll go now, it's time.

- Bless you.

And keep calling.

- Okay.

Take care.

- Take care and eat properly.

Mahi, your train is about to leave.

I'll call you.

- Yes, please.

We'll miss you. Take care.

Sir.. - Come on.

- All the best.

Come on, get on.

The train's leaving.

Take care, Mahi.

Hit it out of the park!

Bye. Bye.

- Bye!

Play well and take care, Mahi!

Go Mahi!

The Man of the Match

and hands down..

All the commentators..

M.S. Dhoni!

I'll request you to give away

the Man of the Match Award.

You seem to be in love

with this pitch.

Yes, definitely. This is

a very good wicket to bat on.

Apart from first 10 overs.

After the shine is gone, I think

it's all for the games

that are played by the batsman.

Here comes Mahi!

There he is.

- Amazing!

Hi!

- Why is everyone here?

How are you, Mahi?

Bless you. How are you?

- Hi, Mahi.

Sir, one photograph.

One photo.

Sir, a bit to the left.

Smile please, sir.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Dhoni.

Dinesh Karthik.

Dhoni.

Sourav?

- Let's try Dhoni.

Goodnight.

- Bye, goodnight.

India has got off to

a very slow start here.

Now let's see how

the match progresses.

They really need a partnership

at this point of time.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the

debutant is coming in to bat.

India are really under

pressure at 180 for 5. - Mahi!

Let's see what the boy from

Ranchi can do.

He's an explosive

wicket-keeper - batsman.

Mohammad Rafique

continues to bowl.

Chance of a run out!

He's got him!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni!

Why did he have to run?

- What happened?

Kaif called for a run

and sent him back.

It's his fault. He got him out.

Chittu, enough.

Dhoni's just short

of his crease.

This can be a turning

point in the match.

What happened?

- Run out!

He's always so impatient!

Got out on the first ball.

How about some tea?

Has to depart in his

first One Day International.

And that must be

a huge disappointment

to the very, very young,

talented man.

Tapash Baisya bowling right-arm

over, medium pace to Dhoni.

Struggling with timing.

- No, no, no, wait, wait.

It's not an easy track.

- Careful.

The ball not quite coming

on to the bat. - Hit it.

Beaten again outside the off stump.

- What is this boy doing?

The ball not really bouncing.

- Calm down.

Can't he be a bit patient?

Taken at short mid-wicket.

Good sharp catch by Bangladesh.

And they would feel

that they've..

What's he doing?

- ...got their foot into the door

in this massive contest.

He only has one match now.

He won't get so many opportunities.

- It's okay.

I think that's a no-ball.

- Stop it, Chittu.

Catch at mid-wicket..

- How about some tea?

And Dhoni is gone for 12

and India are 155 for 6.

Now this has been an excellent

batting display from the Indians.

What.. What great stroke play!

Pitched up

and Dhoni climbs into it!

That's huge! It's a six!

India 347 for 5.

- Yes.

Why does he keep hitting sixes?

How about some tea?

He was in great form today.

If he had played

higher up in the order

he would've definitely

scored a century.

Stop it, Chittu.

I wonder what's

going to happen now.

He only made 19 runs

in 3 matches.

I wonder if he'll get a chance

in the Pakistan Tour.

India's run-rate has come down

a little bit in the last 5 overs.

Dravid is set here.

It's in the air!

Six!

And taken at deep mid-wicket.

You should start praying.

He should've played defensively.

Only 3.5 overs to go.

He was playing for

the team not himself.

So, Dhoni departs and a string

of low scores continues.

What are you doing?

And why doesn't he cut his hair?

I wonder how he'll

stay in the team.

Let's see where the

match goes from here.

Excuse me.

- Yes, ma'am.

Can you please get me

Sachin's autograph? Please.

Sorry, ma'am,

the cricketers are very tired.

And they have requested

to be left alone.

I hope you understand.

Hi.

- Hi.

Are you with the cricket team?

- Yes.

Do you know Sachin?

Yes.

Can you please get

me his autograph?

No.. - Please. - No..

- Please..

I'm his biggest fan.

But right now..

- Please!

What's your name?

- Priyanka.

Priyanka.. - Please..

- Give it to me.

Thank you.

His condition was really

surprising.. - I know!

Sir, one autograph please.

- Sure.

She is a huge fan of yours.

Priyanka.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What do you do?

I'm a keeper-batsman.

Oh?

- In the Indian Team.

Sorry, I didn't know.

- Why are you sorry?

You don't know because I have not

done anything worth remembering.

In four matches I have

0, 12, 7 not out and a 3.

I don't know whether I'll get

a chance to play the next match.

It's okay.

If you keep staring at me,

how will I sleep?

Sorry.

You know what.

You will get to play tomorrow

and you will have a great match.

How come you're so sure?

Just one of those things.

All the best.

If it really happens

and if I want to thank you

then how can I..

I mean..

So, ma'am?

Thank you.

Your name?

Watch it on TV tomorrow.

Yes, Santosh.

- How are you, Mahi?

Fine, but you've been

drinking again.

No, Mahi, I swear, not at all.

- Swear on me.

Let it be.

Santosh,

I'm going to beat you up.

You always..

- Let's talk about cricket.

Why don't they move you up?

- They were saying

that they will try sending me in

at No.3 in some game.

But I have no clue whether

I'm in tomorrow's match.

I'll call you later.

Hello. - 'Dhoni, you're in the 11.'

- Thanks, Dada.

Good luck.

That's it.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Mahi, take a look.

Chisel 50 grams more.

- Okay.

Here, chisel off 50 grams more.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

promoted up the order.

Looking to get the full Monty.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Why are you bathing

since so long? Come out.

I don't want to watch

the match today.

Drives and drives well through the

off-side. Finds the boundary!

Yay!

That's beautifully timed,

through the off-side.

He finds the fence again.

And a half century

for Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

I've always been saying
