It was under his leadership that India lifted the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011 after having led India to triumph in the ICC World T20 in its maiden edition of the tournament held in 2007 in South Africa.

  Former Indian cricket team's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, or 'Mahi', as fans call him, is known for his calm personality on the field. It also earned him the title of 'captain cool' which refers to his temperament, but for those who love motorcycles, the 'cool' refers to his collection of bikes. His love for bikes is widely known and has been there even before Mahi joined mainstream cricket. It started with a Rajdoot and has now expanded to some of the most exotic bikes up for grabs in the world. The list is long so let's get to it. We couldn't choose a favourite among all these motorcycles and hence, the list is in no particular order. Rajdoot The Rajdoot was Dhoni's first ever bike which he got for Rs 4,500 and being away on cricket tours meant the bike needed some attention. MS went on to restore this particular bike to all its glory. Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R is one of the world's fastest bikes. Ever since the Suzuk...

It was a happy coincidence for Dhoni as he was conferred with the prestigious civilian honour on the seventh anniversary of their famous World Cup triumph. The Indian Territorial Army had conferred the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel to Dhoni on November 1, 2011, months after the country lifted its second World Cup under his leadership. The 39-year-old Dhoni is the second Indian cricketer after Kapil Dev to receive this honour. Dhoni has been the recipient of many awards, including ...

  “ Leaders are born not made ”.” Leaders are made not born ”. Probably both these phrases contradict each other yet both are true. To my mind MS Dhoni has redefind leadership as an act where a person is more concious about team effort as well as leading the team well. Dhoni is someone who backs other players when they are not performing too well. Unlike dictators where only job of leader is to give orders,Dhoni leads from the front.He is someone who will take all blame for poor performance of team and no credit for achievement.He believes that cricket is not just a game but an emotion and it is a great leveller as it teaches you how to remain humble.In a nutshell Dhoni is a great leader and a benign human being too. MS Dhoni has been an excellent example of a small town boy making it big in national and international cricket purely by hard work and determination. His Captain Cool attitude is something that needs to be really looked into and studied (the movie showed him as som...
