MS Dhoni: The Legendary Wicketkeeper-Batter of Indian Cricket

Early Life and Background

Born on 7th July 1981 in Ranchi, Jharkhand, Mahendra Singh Dhoni grew up in a modest household. From an early age, he showed great talent in sports like cricket, football, and badminton at DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir. Although he lacked formal coaching, his love for cricket grew quickly. His journey to fame began not in elite academies, but through local matches. In those games, his sharp reflexes and calm under pressure became clear. As time passed, his natural talent started drawing attention. Eventually, he moved from local teams to district-level cricket. Later, he earned a place in the state team. Soon after, he joined the Railways cricket setup. Gradually, he made his way into professional cricket. Thus, Dhoni’s rise reflected hard work and strong belief in himself. In the end, he became a global icon, inspiring millions with his story.

Early Career and Domestic Breakthrough

Dhoni’s domestic career began with Bihar, now Jharkhand, where he displayed his aggressive batting and sharp wicketkeeping skills. Later, he joined Railways, further strengthening his reputation as a reliable finisher in tense situations. His match-winning performances in domestic cricket caught the attention of selectors. In 2004, Dhoni made his international debut, marking the start of his professional journey on the global stage. Though his international success is well known, his early domestic contributions were equally significant.His aggressive stroke play in the lower middle order, combined with his safe hands behind the stumps, marked him as a future leader. By 2004 , his performances in the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy cemented his reputation, paving the way for his international debut .

International Career: Records, Leadership, and Legacy

Dhoni’s international career, spanning 16 years , redefined Indian cricket. He debuted in ODIs against Bangladesh in 2004 and played his first Test in 2005, gradually evolving into a captain-mentor whose strategic brilliance and icy composure transformed India into a dominant force. His tenure as skipper (2007–2017) remains unparalleled:

ICC Trophies : Dhoni is the only Indian captain to win all three ICC trophies —the 2007 T20 World Cup , 2011 ODI World Cup , and 2013 Champions Trophy .
Batting Milestones : He amassed 10,773 ODI runs , 3,408 Test runs , and 1,617 T20I runs , with a unique ability to anchor innings and accelerate in the death overs.
Wicketkeeping Prowess : Dhoni holds the record for the most dismissals by an Indian wicketkeeper (1,010 in ODIs and 294 in Tests), blending athleticism with anticipation .

Transition to Leadership :

Appointed ODI captain in 2007 after India’s disastrous World Cup campaign, Dhoni’s leadership turned the tide. His famous “Helicopter Shot” and knack for finishing matches earned him the nickname Captain Cool . Under his guidance, India reached the No. 1 Test ranking in 2011 and built a fearless team culture that nurtured talents like Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja .

IPL factfile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni led India to three ICC titles and is equally celebrated for his leadership with Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Nicknamed “Thala,” he guided CSK to ten finals in 14 seasons, winning five championships—in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. Under his captaincy, CSK reached the playoffs twelve times, becoming the tournament’s most consistent team. Before IPL 2024, he stepped down as skipper, handing over the responsibility to Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Dhoni was acquired by CSK in the inaugural IPL auction of 2008 and remained their leader throughout, except during their 2016–17 suspension due to corruption charges. During that period, he played for Rising Pune Supergiant(s), marking a short break from his usual franchise. His standout batting season came in 2018 when he scored 455 runs at an average of 75.83 and strike rate of 150.66, leading CSK to victory in their return season after the ban.

In 2023, Dhoni became the first player to appear in 250 IPL matches, achieving yet another milestone. Although he briefly gave up captaincy before IPL 2022, he returned mid-season after Ravindra Jadeja stepped down and led CSK to another title. In IPL 2024, Dhoni recorded his highest strike rate—220.54—including a blistering knock of 161 off 73 balls with 14 fours and 13 sixes. Despite retiring from international cricket, he continues to deliver powerful performances on the field.

Other T20 Leagues and T10 Ventures

While Dhoni primarily focused on the IPL, he briefly participated in the T10 League (2018) as a mentor-captain for the Northern Warriors , guiding them to the final. His influence extended beyond borders, mentoring younger players and popularizing the T10 format’s fast-paced excitement. Though he rarely played in other leagues, his leadership philosophy inspired franchises globally .

Strong Zones and Unique Skills

Dhoni’s greatest strength lay in his mental resilience and game-reading ability . As a wicketkeeper, his lightning-fast stumpings and reflex catches dismantled oppositions. As a batter, his 360-degree shot-making , especially the helicopter pull shot, redefined the role of finishers. Crucially, his captaincy —often against the grain of conventional wisdom—turned matches single-handedly, such as his unbeaten 91 in the 2011 World Cup final * .

Legacy and Retirement

Dhoni retired from international cricket in August 2020 , leaving behind a legacy of 10,773 ODI runs , 3,408 Test runs , and 1,617 T20I runs across 538 matches 7. His leadership ethos—“lead from the front, stay calm under pressure”—continues to influence cricketers globally. Even in 2025, at 43 , he remains a cricketing icon, recently featuring in a domestic match as an uncapped player and winning Player of the Match.

Eshan Malinga: Sri Lanka’s Rising Bowling Sensation – A Comprehensive Career Breakdown

About Him & Early Life

Born on February 4, 2001 , in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka , Eshan Malinga emerged as a promising fast bowler with a reputation for raw pace and accuracy. Despite sharing a surname with legendary Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga , the two are unrelated . Nicknamed the “Ratnapura Express” and “Opanayke Express” , Eshan’s journey began in local cricket academies, where his fiery bowling caught the attention of selectors early on .

Eshan Early Career & Domestic Rise

Eshan’s breakthrough came in 2022 when he debuted for Ragama Cricket Club , a Colombo-based team. His performances in domestic cricket were electric:

T20 Debut (May 2022) : He immediately showcased his ability to trouble batters with sharp yorkers and toe-crushing deliveries .
List A Debut (July 2022) : In limited-overs cricket, he maintained an impressive economy rate of 6.03 while scalping four wickets in five ODIs .
By 2023, his consistency earned him a spot in Sri Lanka’s developmental squads, setting the stage for international recognition .

Transitioning from club to national cricket, Eshan’s aggressive approach and knack for late-innings breakthroughs made him a standout in domestic leagues .

International Career: Breaking into the National Side

Eshan’s international debut came in 2024 during Sri Lanka’s ODI series against South Africa . Though still a fledgling presence, his performances hinted at future stardom:

ODI Stats (2024) : Took 4 wickets in 5 matches , blending pace with clever variations .
T20 Internationals : As of 2025, he has claimed 17 wickets in 16 T20s , often tasked with dismantling middle orders or delivering death overs .
His ability to swing the ball both ways and maintain composure under pressure has cemented his role in Sri Lanka’s rebuilding phase .

IPL 2025: A Star in the Making

Eshan’s inclusion in the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) squad for IPL 2025 marked a turning point. Bought for INR 1.20 Crore at the mega auction, he made his debut on April 12, 2025 , against Punjab Kings .Key highlights include:

Role : A right-arm fast-medium bowler specializing in death overs and powerplay spells .
Impact : Though still adapting to IPL conditions, his consistent speeds above 140 km/h and sharp bouncers have drawn comparisons to young Lasith Malinga.
Challenges : Struggled slightly with consistency in his first season but remains a key asset for SRH’s bowling depth .

Other Leagues: T20 & T10 Ventures

Beyond the IPL, Eshan has dominated regional T20 leagues:

Domestic T20s : His 17 wickets in 16 matches for Ragama Cricket Club highlight his adaptability to shorter formats .
T10 Leagues : As of 2025, there’s no record of T10 participation, but his aggressive style suits the format’s demands .
His growing reputation has sparked interest from global franchises, signaling potential future stints in leagues like the Big Bash League (BBL) or SA20 .

Eshan Strong Zone: Pace, Yorkers, and Death Bowling

Eshan thrives in high-pressure situations, particularly in death overs. His strengths include:

Raw Pace : Regularly clocks 140–145 km/h , troubling even seasoned batters .
Yorks & Bouncers : Deadly at the death, with a near-perfect release point for toe-crushing yorkers.
Swing Mastery : Can swing the ball both ways, making him lethal in overcast conditions.

Transitioning from domestic to international cricket, his adaptability to varied pitches—from seamer-friendly Wankhede to spin-heavy Colombo tracks—has been remarkable .

Legacy & Future Prospects

Though still in his early 20s, Eshan Malinga’s trajectory mirrors that of a future Sri Lankan great. While comparisons to Lasith Malinga are inevitable, Eshan’s unique blend of pace and control sets him apart. With consistent performances in the IPL and international cricket, he aims to:

Become Sri Lanka’s go-to death bowler.
Inspire the next generation of fast bowlers in a nation historically reliant on spin.
Cement his place in global franchise leagues, following in the footsteps of Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Afridi

Jaydev Unadkat: A Resilient Journey from Porbandar to Cricket Stardom

About Him

Born on October 18, 1991, in Porbandar, Gujarat, Jaydev Unadkat is a left-arm fast-medium bowler and right-handed batsman renowned for his swing bowling and resilience . Hailing from a small town, Unadkat’s cricketing journey began with humble roots, but his relentless work ethic and adaptability propelled him to prominence in Indian cricket .

Early Career & Domestic Breakthrough

Unadkat’s early promise emerged during his Under-19 days, where he showcased raw pace and swing potential 8. He made his first-class debut for Saurashtra in 2010, quickly becoming their leading paceman due to his ability to generate late swing and exploit seam-friendly conditions . His domestic career highlights include consistent performances in the Ranji Trophy, where he combined aggression with control, often steering Saurashtra’s bowling attack. Despite limited resources, Unadkat’s leadership and match-winning spells earned him respect as a domestic stalwart .

International Career: Sporadic Success and Growth

Unadkat made his international debut in 2010 but struggled to secure a permanent spot in India’s competitive pace attack . His T20I debut came in 2016 against Zimbabwe, where he displayed glimpses of talent but remained a rotational option . However, his 2017 IPL season marked a turning point, as improved fitness and variations (like slower deliveries and yorkers) revived his career . Though he never became a regular in the national team, his ability to deliver under pressure in domestic cricket kept him relevant.

Jaydev Unadkat IPL Factfile

– Jaydev Unadkat started his IPL journey in 2009 and has been part of eight teams.

– He rose to prominence in IPL 2017, where he took 24 wickets in just 12 games for Rising Pune Supergiant, who made the final.

– He was picked up for INR 11.5 crores by Rajasthan Royals in 2018. His numbers fell off and the opportunities dried up over the four seasons in which he was with the side.

– He was part of SRH in IPL 2024; the finalists of the season bought him back for IPL 2025. It was the 13th time he was bought in an auction, the most by any player.

Despite fluctuating form, his left-arm swing and death-over accuracy made him a valuable asset. However, inconsistency and competition from younger pacers often relegated him to backup roles in later seasons .

Strong Zones: Technical and Mental Attributes

Unadkat’s strength lies in his left-arm swing bowling , which troubles right-handed batters through late movement. He thrives in overcast conditions and with the new ball, often breaking partnerships early . Additionally, his death-over mastery —yorkers and slower deliveries—has turned matches in T20s. Mentally, his resilience defines him; after being dropped from the Indian team multiple times, he reinvented his fitness and skills to remain competitive .

Legacy: Inspiring the Underdog

Unadkat’s career embodies perseverance. Despite inconsistent international opportunities, he became a domestic legend and IPL veteran, inspiring cricketers from smaller towns . His leadership for Saurashtra and ability to mentor young pacers further cement his legacy. While not a global star, Unadkat’s story resonates as a testament to hard work, proving that determination can carve a lasting niche in cricket.

Zeeshan Ansari: The Rise of a Promising Legspinner in Indian Cricket

Early Career & Domestic Journey

Zeeshan Ansari, a 25-year-old legspinner from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, first gained recognition during the 2016 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup , where he emerged as India’s leading wicket-taker with 12 scalps . His performance showcased early promise, positioning him as a future talent. Despite this early acclaim, his domestic career progressed slowly, with limited opportunities in senior cricket until the 2024 UP T20 League . Representing Meerut Mavericks , he became the tournament’s standout performer, earning attention from IPL franchises . His breakthrough came when Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) acquired him for ₹40 lakhs in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction , marking his first major professional contract .

IPL Debut & Impact

Ansari’s IPL debut in March 2025 against Delhi Capitals was a defining moment. Despite having played only one T20 match for his state prior to the tournament, he impressed by claiming 3 wickets in his debut innings 13. His ability to exploit early cracks in the pitch and maintain composure under pressure highlighted his potential. SRH’s decision to invest in him paid off, as his legspin offered a fresh dynamic to their bowling attack .

International Aspirations

While Ansari has yet to earn a senior India cap , his U19 exploits and IPL performances have placed him on the radar of selectors. His legspin, combined with variations like the googly and flipper, aligns with modern T20 requirements. A consistent showing in the IPL could pave the way for India A call-ups or even a spot in limited-overs squads in the coming years .

Strong Zones & Playing Style

Ansari thrives in pressure situations , particularly in the powerplay and middle overs, where his accurate legspin and subtle variations disrupt batting rhythm. His U19 World Cup heroics demonstrated an ability to deliver in high-stakes matches, a trait he carried into his IPL debut . While his pace is modest, his control and tactical nous make him a valuable asset in death overs or pitch-friendly conditions.

Legacy & Future Outlook

Zeeshan Ansari’s career embodies perseverance. From being a teenage sensation in 2016 to overcoming years of obscurity, his IPL debut symbolizes a resurgence . Though still early in his professional journey, his trajectory mirrors players like Yuzvendra Chahal , who leveraged T20 leagues to reach international heights. If Ansari sustains his IPL form, he could evolve into a national T20 specialist , contributing to India’s future white-ball campaigns.

Simarjeet Singh: The Rising Indian Pacer Redefining IPL Speed

Simarjeet Singh, born on January 17, 1998 , in Delhi, is an explosive right-arm medium-fast bowler and handy lower-order batsman who has carved a niche for himself in Indian cricket. Standing tall with a skiddy pace that often breaches 140 km/h , he combines raw speed with precision, making him a potent asset in high-pressure situations .

Early Career & Domestic Rise

Initially honing his craft in Delhi’s competitive cricketing circles, Simarjeet made his first-class debut for Delhi during the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy on November 20, 2018 . His breakthrough came in November 2019 , when he debuted in T20 cricket for Delhi against Nagaland, conceding just 7 runs in 3 overs —a glimpse of his economical prowess . Transitioning from a net bowler for Delhi Capitals in the IPL to a match-ready pacer, he earned recognition for his relentless accuracy and ability to trouble batters with awkward bounce .

IPL Breakthrough: From Net Bowler to Match-Winner

Simarjeet’s IPL journey began as a net bowler with Delhi Capitals, but his relentless work ethic propelled him into the spotlight. Acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023, he showcased his death-over skills, consistently troubling top-order batters with yorkers and slower deliveries. By 2025, he became a key cog in Chennai Super Kings’ bowling attack , leveraging his skiddy pace to exploit dew-affected pitches in UAE editions . With 12 IPL matches under his belt, he averages 27.5 with the ball while chipping in with crucial runs down the order .

Strong Zones: Death Overs & Skiddy Pace

Simarjeet thrives in high-stakes scenarios, particularly the death overs , where his ability to bowl yorkers and mixed-paced deliveries unsettles batters. His low trajectory and awkward bounce make him a nightmare for hitters aiming to score freely, especially on slower Indian pitches.

Legacy: A Symbol of Perseverance

From Delhi’s domestic circuit to IPL stardom, Simarjeet embodies the power of perseverance. Though yet to don the Indian jersey, his IPL consistency and adaptability across formats have cemented his reputation as a “bowler’s bowler” in franchise cricket

Mohammed Shami: The Relentless Indian Pace Sensation

Mohammed Shami, born on September 3, 1990, in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, is a right-arm fast bowler celebrated for his swing, pace, and match-winning consistency. Representing India internationally , Bengal domestically , and Gujarat Titans in the IPL , Shami has carved a legacy as one of cricket’s most dependable bowlers .

Early Career & Domestic Breakthrough

Shami’s journey began in Uttar Pradesh, where he initially played as a medium pacer. His coach, Badruddin Siddique , recognized his raw pace and urged him to switch to fast bowling—a decision that reshaped his career . He made his first-class debut for Bengal in November 2010 against Assam, claiming three wickets, signaling his potential . Over time, Shami became Bengal’s spearhead, excelling in red-ball and white-ball domestic tournaments. His performances earned him a spot in India’s national setup, marking the start of a meteoric rise.

International Career: Records and Resilience

Shami’s Test debut in November 2013 against West Indies was historic: he took 9 wickets for 118 runs , setting a record for the most wickets by an Indian debutant in a match . His ability to exploit swing and seam movement made him a cornerstone of India’s pace attack.

In ODIs , Shami became the fastest Indian bowler to 100 wickets (in 58 matches), showcasing his knack for breakthroughs in crucial moments . During the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup , he emerged as India’s highest wicket-taker (20 wickets) and delivered a sensational 14.2-over spell against Afghanistan, conceding just 26 runs .

Despite injuries and off-field controversies, Shami’s resilience kept him relevant. By 2025, he had 450+ international wickets , cementing his status as a modern great .

IPL Journey: Consistency Across Franchises

Shami entered the IPL in 2013 with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where his ability to bowl yorkers and death overs stood out. He later played for Delhi Capitals (DC) , Punjab Kings (PBKS) , and Gujarat Titans (GT) , amassing over 100 IPL wickets by 2023 .

At PBKS (2019–2021), he claimed 58 wickets in 42 matches , often steering the team’s late-order collapses . With GT, Shami’s leadership and death-bowling prowess became pivotal, helping the franchise win the 2022 IPL title . In IPL 2022 and 2023, where he took 48 wickets in 33 games and the team won the title and finished as runners up with Gujrat Titans. An ankle surgery ruled Shami out of IPL 2024; he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 10 crores for IPL 2025.His adaptability to different roles—from opening the attack to anchoring the death overs—highlights his tactical intelligence.

Strengths: The Art of Precision

Shami’s strong zones revolve around his late swing with the new ball and unerring accuracy in death overs . His ability to bowl toe-crushing yorkers and full tosses at will makes him a nightmare for lower-order hitters. Additionally, his reverse swing mastery with the older ball disrupts middle-order partnerships.

Transitioning from a raw pacer to a calculated strategist, Shami thrives in high-pressure situations. For instance, his 3/26 against Afghanistan in the 2019 World Cup exemplified his composure under pressure.

Legacy: A Pillar of Indian Cricket

Shami’s legacy lies in his clutch performances and pioneering the resurgence of Indian pace bowling alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Ishan Sharma. He holds records like:

Most wickets by an Indian in World Cup history (28) .
Fastest Indian to 100 ODI wickets .
Key architect of India’s 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final run .

Despite injuries and personal challenges, Shami’s work ethic and hunger for excellence keep him at the forefront of world cricket. As of 2025, he remains a vital cog in India’s 2027 World Cup plans.
