Dhoni, as a leader, was a master, from giving last over to Joginder Sharma in finals of T20 World Cup 2007 to dropping senior players from the team, from giving Rohit Sarma oodles of chances to coming himself at number five during the world cup final, every time Dhoni has thrown the dice, it has always been the number six which have come up on the top.

Out of many qualities or talent which M.S. Dhoni possess, there is one another quality which probably many of us might not know that Dhoni was a keen football player before his introduction to cricket. He was a goalkeeper in his school time and till now, has a keen interest in this sport. He also owns a football team in Indian Super League. The love for this sport has kept him attached to the game.
