The Prologue

From a small-town boy in Ranchi to India's most successful captain, MS Dhoni's journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

With his trademark helicopter shot, lightning-fast stumpings, and ice-cool demeanor under pressure, Dhoni revolutionized the role of a wicketkeeper-batsman and redefined captaincy in Indian cricket.

He led India to victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy - the only captain to win all three ICC trophies. His finishing ability in limited-overs cricket became legendary, earning him the moniker "Captain Cool."
