If you are fan of M.S. Dhoni Story, and want to know everything about his cricketing career right from the beginning, this is the book you need to read, however this is not a biography.
This was a very good book about the captain of the Indian Cricket Team. MS Dhoni has truly created a legend around himself all through his hard work. This story starts by explaining his family and how it came to being. It goes on until the end of a very successful ODI(50 over) Tri-Series in Australia, where India, against all the odds, beat Australia on their own turf.
Gulu sees sportsmen so differently from the normal fan or follower of the game. MSD is a champion and thats very well documented, but you get a different view when a sports journalist chronicles the story of this once in a generation leader and phenomenon called MSD.
It's a very well written book, giving a very good insight into Dhoni's cricketing career, including his early days.
This book is more about the ‘Dhoni years’ of Indian cricket than about the ‘person’ Dhoni. So readers wanting to catch a glimpse of Dhoni’s psyche or personality and delve into his ice-cool demeanour are likely to be disappointed. The book itself is an updated fifth edition with the first edition being published way back in 2008.
A faithful record of the Dhoni years, this book has been written through a cricket writer’s eyes. To probe into the cultural and social phenomenon called Dhoni, we will perhaps have to wait for a sociologist.
