Ten unknown facts about MSD

Who doesn’t love Mahi? The more you know the more you want to know about him. On his birthday Dhoni was all over the media, but we bet you do not know all about him. After Sachin Tendulkar’s retirement, he is the most widely discussed cricketer in India. His wealth has reached such levels that he has become the richest cricketer and, in fact, one of the richest sportsmen in the world. But the story of his life is unique. Not only was he not born into a rich or even middle-class family, he grew up in very ordinary surroundings in Ranchi. As any famous man would have it, controversies surround him off and on along with all adulation and appreciation. Popular knowledge goes that Dhoni’s father Paan Singh was a pump operator in MECON, Ranchi. The fact is that Singh did farming in Almora in Uttarakhand before his complete inability to run the family because of scarcity of money compelled to leave for a place which would allow him to meet his basic expenses. That is how Singh and his family arrived in Ranchi.
