The Darkest Phase Of Dhoni

It was impossible for me not to speak about him that too on his birthday, about someone who is the unstoppable, unbeatable, the most impeccable, the Ranchi boy, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Ek article to banta Haina boss!

It was the IPL season 2013, a match that changed the lives of the entire CSK team. When the team principal of CSK, Gurunath Meiyappan and Vindu Dara Singh were arrested for betting and having contacts with bookies. Even the CSK players were accused to be a part of the same. The team was also suspended for 2 years from IPL starting from July 2015.

Roar of the 🦁 Lion

Dhoni, in a special documentary, released on Hotstar, named Roar of the Lion, said, "2013 was the darkest phase of his cricket career. The world cup that they couldn't win was the closest." He was the captain of CSK. The entire Chennai considered him to be a boon for them. Some said that Chennai is lucky to have him that too as a captain. Dhoni was by now the most renowned player of the Indian cricket team and he was also popular in the international cricket. This made him the center of the whole scandal. Being a captain he was a representative of the team in the eyes of the media but what he concentrated on was the game and not the press conferences because people remembers the game not the answers to the questions.

In this documentary, Mohit Sharma had quoted his words before that particular match, "Do your best but don't do anything that may lead to a disrespect of 🏏 Cricket." A man with these words, one cannot even imagine in dreams of him, doing a match fixing. Dhoni believes that whatever he is today or has achieved today is because of 🏏 Cricket and match fixing is like the biggest crime for him, even bigger than a murder. Because this is not restricted to him but it has a bigger impact.

And the commendable part here was that Dhoni didn't forget to mention about his fans. He said that they had this fear of losing the fans but the fact was the fan following simply grew in those 2 years. There were all sorts of sad expressions from the fans like we lost a family member. The social media was flooded by the CSK Fans' posts, "We want CSK Back", "Save CSK Campaign" in which approximately 13,000 people aka fans gathered. They believed in DHONI.

15th July 2017, the comeback date, more power, more enthusiasm, more energy, enough to show everyone that no accusation could stop them from performing their best.

The inimitable part of Dhoni, is his ever seen serene attitude, the way he held himself and stood by CSK. He only had one question to ask, "Where was the mistake of the CSK players?"

So this was my style of tributing India's biggest Hero

"The Biggest Birthday".
