00:01I was actually playing soccer and I wanted to become a goalkeeper.
00:07When I was in the top order, my team's background was dropped.
00:10If I was in the middle order, then my score would increase.
00:14I came to Rachi,
00:16I was in the inter-school cricket tournament
00:19in a limited over-match.
00:22I had been appointed in Kiannkarta.
00:24All of the people came to me
00:26and started giving me the name of Dhoni.
00:28You had to look at this cricket.
00:30India was the match in Pakistan.
00:33That was his first game, I think.
00:35He didn't get any chance to play on the tour.
00:37He scored the century in the first game itself.
00:39In that period,
00:41I felt that this cricket is a very long time
00:44and I should play India immediately.
00:58India now.
00:59Winners of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013.
01:03Never bet against MS Dhoni and CSK!
01:28Rachi is a small place, but we have some good schools in our city.
01:37And the best part was the fact that every stream of sport was allowed.
01:43And for me, it was more about turning 4 o'clock in the evening,
01:47going to have some fun.
01:48Because that was the time allotted for us to play cricket
01:51or whatever the sport may be.
01:52It was rainy season,
01:53we would play soccer,
01:54you know, football
01:55or if it was some other season,
01:56some other sport.
02:02I was actually playing soccer
02:03and I wanted to become a goalkeeper.
02:05I was playing football very well.
02:09It was very big.
02:10Goalkeeping was also very good.
02:12And midfield was very good.
02:17It was actually one of our school games teacher,
02:21Mr. K.A. Banerjee.
02:22He was the one.
02:23Because he was also my soccer teacher,
02:26football teacher,
02:27and I was a goalkeeper.
02:29I was in class 7.
02:30And the wicketkeeper of the school had passed out.
02:34So there was no wicketkeeper.
02:35And when we used to play tennis ball
02:37with all the boys and the classmates that I had,
02:40I used to do wicketkeeping there.
02:42And I was a goalkeeper.
02:43He knew I was a goalkeeper.
02:44So we were practicing,
02:46I was sharpening my skills as a goalkeeper.
02:49And he just told me,
02:50you know,
02:51we don't have a wicketkeeper in our school as of now.
02:53Like, why don't you give it a go?
02:55So I was a bit surprised.
02:57He said,
02:59it's exactly like goalkeeping.
03:04That's all.
03:07That's the best way to play.
03:10That's the best way to play.
03:13But when the top order
03:23of the team's basketball is going to drop,
03:25When the ball is a match, the ball became old.
03:32If the ball is a batting, the ball will not look at football and the score will increase.
03:46We will go to the opening.
03:49We are also a short.
03:51You will not be a third batman or a batman.
03:54You will go to the batting.
03:55But the style you play in the middle order,
03:59you will have to play as an opener of your mind.
04:04But how are we?
04:06After that, the rest is history.
04:09How did you play in this tournament?
04:13How did you play in Toronto?
04:15After that, he came to me as a boy who played in an inter-school cricket tournament on a limited-over match.
04:19He was a very major title.
04:24the name was in front of him.
04:26When he was 11th,
04:28he was known as the name of the Devils
04:29in all cricket world.
04:31He was also a team in makeon.
04:33CMPD,
04:35CCL and CCL.
04:37He had to play for playing CCL
04:39in CCL.
04:41When he was in school,
04:44we had to join him.
04:46He was the most junior player.
04:49But he was in the ground
04:51and he was looking for confidence
04:53and no one could say
04:55that he was the most junior player.
05:00Ganguli was our guru,
05:02godfather.
05:03One time I told him,
05:04he is a guy,
05:05Mahendra Singh Dhoni,
05:06he is very good.
05:07When he saw him play,
05:09he said,
05:10he is a bat.
05:11I told him,
05:12he is in the middle of the bat
05:13ball.
05:14He is having his own style.
05:16Everything is different.
05:17Then he saw
05:18that he was made
05:20in Eden with Bengal.
05:22He told me,
05:23you will take him.
05:24So,
05:25he wanted his job.
05:33Ganguli was telling him,
05:34what are you thinking?
05:35He is sleeping.
05:36He is sitting on the platform.
05:38He tells me,
05:40I have no idea.
05:41I have no idea.
05:42He has no idea.
05:43We are playing football,
05:44but I have no idea.
05:45I have no idea.
05:46He is playing football,
05:47I have no idea.
05:48I have no idea.
05:49He is the one who can play football,
05:50but that was his destiny.
05:51So,
05:52he has no idea.
05:53In 2001-2002, I was appointed to BCA in the form of Kyrnkarta for Bihar.
06:01So, when I came to the first time to chain,
06:05which was in the headquarter of BCA,
06:08the Bihar Cricket Association,
06:10I came to the first place to get the name of Dhoni.
06:15It was very important to see the name of Saba,
06:18it was very hard to kill.
06:20So, I remember that we had a selection of trials in Kenan Stadium.
06:25The most important thing was that,
06:29when he came to the batting,
06:31he was beating the pace ballers in the stand.
06:34He was beating with his strength.
06:36He was beating with his confidence.
06:38And when he came to the spinners,
06:40he was able to beat him outside,
06:43to use his legs and then throw his legs.
06:46So, this is a special thing,
06:47this is a special thing,
06:48this is a special thing,
06:49this is a special thing.
06:51That year, we didn't realize that,
06:53we had to open it for one day,
06:55we had to open it for one day.
06:58So, I remember that,
06:59I remember that,
07:00and I remember that,
07:01I remember that,
07:03I needed to work a little bit.
07:05The most important thing was that,
07:08his glove work was very neat.
07:10The glove work was very soft,
07:11and the wall was very soft.
07:15At that time,
07:16he was a unique talent.
07:20And his wicket keeping,
07:22is not a conventional wicket keeping.
07:24He has developed it.
07:26He has developed it.
07:27At that time,
07:28I remember that,
07:29I worked on his leg side,
07:31on the footwork.
07:32At that time,
07:33the footwork was not so much on the leg side.
07:37Without the move,
07:38he would try to catch the ball,
07:39and then he would try to jump.
07:41So, that was an area,
07:42where I worked a little bit.
07:46After that,
07:47the first time,
07:48the chain was for the India A team.
07:50The triangular triangular
07:52in Kenya.
07:53In India A,
07:55number one wicket keepers,
07:56Dinesh Kartik.
07:57And number two wicket keepers,
07:58M.S. Dhoni.
07:59If you talk to Mahendr Singh,
08:00Dhani,
08:01you never have to say,
08:02at that time,
08:03between the sheer truth,
08:04and the purest of their attention,
08:06because in duo,
08:07they're always competing against them.
08:08On the net,
08:09actually,
08:10he's playing the media page,
08:11he's playing the media page.
08:12Now,
08:13we're playing the media page,
08:14he's playing the match,
08:15Mahendr Singh Dhoni.
08:17They're not getting batting.
08:18In the camera,
08:19my brother and Sriram had his own
08:22So we were talking to them and I said, brother, what are you doing, if you're going to batting your competitors, then how do you do it?
08:30And if you're going to make a run, then how do you do it? Tell me, how do you get your number?
08:35I said, what do you do? You also do batting your mind.
08:38What's your fault for talking to me?
08:40I'm talking to Dinesh Karthik, I'm talking to Dinesh Karthik, I don't have a difference.
08:44India's match was quite vividly.
08:51This match was in Kenya.
08:53It was a very big field, a small field actually.
08:55Kenya was already playing international cricket at that time, they had a good player.
08:59Pakistan's team was actually a strong team.
09:01It was a strong game that was already played for Pakistan.
09:05They were already playing for 140-1402.
09:08So there was a batting there.
09:10In my living memory, I had to sweep the first time in a fastballer.
09:16Because he was in the final leg field.
09:18So he hit a sweep and then he hit a sweep.
09:21After that, he hit a sweep and then he hit a sweep.
09:23After that, he hit a sweep.
09:24After that, what did he do?
09:26He hit a final leg and then he hit a third man.
09:28So he hit a reverse lap.
09:31And we were like, our jaws dropped.
09:33What are you doing?
09:35That was his first game, I think.
09:37He didn't get any chance to play.
09:39He also got the chance to play.
09:40Because Dinesh Karthik had a selection in India in England.
09:44That time, India was in England.
09:45So he sent you there.
09:46And when we reach Zimbabwee from Kenya,
09:48he got the chance to play for MS.
09:51And he scored the century in the first game itself.
09:53The Pakistan match, of course, was outstanding.
09:56What a super stroke.
10:01Getting to his 100 by a 6.
10:05Look at that.
10:06We have been praising this young fellow.
10:09And he is shown wild.
10:11He is so special.
10:13But in that period,
10:16I felt that this game will play a very long time.
10:21And so, India should play as soon as possible.
10:24This guy is hitting it straight.
10:26And that's it.
10:27Finishing his style.
10:28He got to the 100 with a 6.
10:30And he has ensured India's victory
10:32with two consecutive 6s.
10:34What a star.
10:35We went to Kenya and Zimbabwe together for India.
10:38And that was probably MS's first tour.
10:40And we got a lot of runs together as well
10:42against Pakistan in that triangular series.
10:44We won that triangular series.
10:46Normally, keepers never used to play those big shots.
10:48MS probably was the first one who used to hit those big 6s.
10:51And coming at number 7.
10:53Before that, we had wicket keepers
10:54who would just grind and craft.
10:55But MS in that one-day series was absolutely phenomenal.
10:58He's got an average of almost 83 in this series.
11:01This is the sixth match.
11:02Yes, I am sure he's a strong candidate for the man of the series
11:05for this tournament.
11:06And what is also impressive is that
11:08the guy keeps wickets for 50 overs.
11:10And he bats one down.
11:11He's done extremely well.
11:13It requires a lot of concentration.
11:15And I will be more than pleased to see him graduate
11:18to the senior's team very soon.
11:21Now the series award goes to Bhooni.
11:25And his worth of support also.
11:26Well done, congratulations.
11:27Kaffi Mazaya this tournament, mate.
11:29Kaffi Mazaya, particularly the
11:31when I started, it was not quite well.
11:33Those players I picked up and performed quite well
11:35with two centuries and a match winning 70.
11:37So kaffi a-che-che innings,
11:38I would like to continue.
11:40You've done very well in this tournament.
11:42Very impressed with your keeping skills.
11:44That's very important for the Indian scene at this stage.
11:48Yeah, definitely you were with me
11:50while I was not keeping very well.
11:52But I have started, worked a lot on my keeping.
11:55And I am doing it very well right now.
11:57In that period,
11:58I was the captain of Saurav Ganguly.
12:00So after the A series,
12:02I remember specifically
12:03I went to Saurav's house,
12:04which is his house.
12:06I said,
12:07if you want to sit on a wicketkeeper
12:09like Adam Gilchrist,
12:12then you take it in the team.
12:14You take it in the team.
12:16You take it in the team,
12:17and it will work very well.
12:18No, no.
12:19It's difficult.
12:20Then we'll see.
12:22After that,
12:23I had to wait for about a year
12:24and wait for the miss.
12:26I remember for the first debut.
12:28One-lick,
12:29one-lick,
12:30one-lick ticket.
12:34We had a chance for the wicketkeeper.
12:35We had a chance for the wicketkeeper.
12:37We had a chance for the spark
12:39in Dhoni.
12:40I think it was something special.
12:42It's something different.
12:44We have a team of Pakistan.
12:45It's a win-win tournament.
12:46It's a win-win match.
12:47It's a game of Ganguly.
12:48We promote it.
12:51We support them.
12:52And it's a game of Camels.
12:53They don't think they can beat 140 vehicles.
12:55Their purpose is to kill pretty long
12:58and don't have to kill another one.
12:59We have to be right.
13:00We are wrong.
13:01No, no, no, no.
13:03There is a game of Samujan,
13:04there is no doubt.
13:05There is no doubt that the Helene Pass.
13:06There is no doubt.
13:07This is a game of könntestions,
13:08and the Helene Pass.
13:09It's all to win and win.
13:10The goal is for theidetons.
13:11Only in the US,
13:12all to see the most people.
