Birth of Captain Cool : MS Dhoni
Dhoni made his international debut on 23 December 2004 vs Bangladesh, in just 42 innings he became the number one ODI batsman in ICC ranking which is fastest till date.
Dhoni as a batsman was known to all till 2007 T20 world cup but no one could ever think that this boy from #Ranchi can do wonders as a captain.
He was appointed as a captain where no senior player took part and he had to lead a bunch of young guys in the first ever T20 world cup. Remember India just played one T20 match before going to South Africa.
India could not even qualify the group stage in the 50 over format in the same year and that added more pressure for the players, but talents and dedication took the young Indian to the final against their age old rival #Pakistan and everyone will remember the last over gamble by Dhoni opting for Jogindar Sharma and not going for Harbhajan Singh, India won the world cup by 5 runs . That was the day when Indian cricket got a Captain who took India to much higher level in later stages. That was the birth of #Dhoni as a captain.
