Age: 26y 44d

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the new poster boy of Indian cricket. With his long mane and swashbuckling batting style, Dhoni has the whole country drooling over him at this moment.
Dhoni got his big break in the Indian team courtesy his exploits against Pakistan A, in the triangular tournament in Kenya, where he destroyed bowling attacks with disdain. After making his one-day international debut against Bangladesh in Chittagong in December 2004 Dhoni remained subdued in the first four matches he played.
It was his fifth one-dayer, against Pakistan at Vishakapatnam, which heralded MS Dh
oni's arrival at the big stage when the dashing wicket keeper cracked a dazzling 148 from just 123 balls. Dhoni followed it with another cracker of an innings against Sri Lanka on 31 October 2005, when he clobbered his way to a mammoth 183 off just 145 balls, thus breaking Adam Gilchrist's record for the highest score by a wicketkeeper in ODIs
During this blitzkrieg, Dhoni also broke Saeed Anwar's record of most runs scored off boundaries by scoring a total of 120 runs off 4s and 6s eclipsing the previous record of 118.
Riding on the good showing in the One-Dayers, Dhoni made his Test debut against Sri Lanka and in only his fifth Test, scored his maiden century to help India avoid follow-on against Pakistan. Ever since, Dhoni has been a crucial member of the Indian side.
Profile
With the arrival of Mahendra Singh Dhoni seems to have India’s search for a wicket-keeper batsman. Dhoni, who hails from Jharkhand, can be swashbuckling with the bat and secure with the wicketkeeping gloves. This was evident for the whole world when Dhoni, playing his fifth ODI, tore to shreds the Pakistani bowling attack in the second one-dayer at Vishakapatnam cracking a dazzling 148 and later took two good catches. Said to be drinking three litres of milk every day, Dhoni has put some stirring performances which led to his call to the Indian team – a rapid hundred which helped East Zone clinch the Deodhar Trophy and an audacious 60 in the Duleep Trophy final. But it was with his two centuries against Pakistan A, in the triangular tournament in Kenya, that Dhoni established himself as a clinical destroyer of bowling attacks.
