The fans around the country and the world were treated with a movie that showed them all that they wanted to know about the star cricketer. Most of us have seen him rise through the ranks in Indian cricket and his achievements with the Indian team but not many know how MS Dhoni defeated the obstacles on his way from Ranchi, not one of the most popular cricketing locations in India to captaining the national team and winning the greatest international laurels which is a huge achievement in itself.
