Time has flown and it's been 14 years since a strong boy with long hair from Ranchi made his mark on International Cricket. As Vikram Sathye famously said- 'Nobody apart from Lord Krishna had made headlines for consuming a certain amount of milk everyday'. Such has been the phenomenon of MS Dhoni.

As that didn't go according to the plan, eventually Dhoni had to take his chance and unluckily he found Alzarri Joseph at long on. If Dhoni had successfully finished the game, same people who are criticizing him for his crawling effort would have praised him saying...
