The spectacular arrival of Virender Sehwag was bound
to inspire others to bat with the same mindset. But the odds of a
clone emerging from the backwaters of Jharkhand, whose state side
has consistently scraped the bottom, was highly remote. That was
until Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived. He can be swashbuckling with the
bat and secure with the wicketkeeping gloves. His neck-length hair
adds to his dash. Though Dhoni made his first-class debut in the
1999-2000 season, it was only in 2004 that he became a serious
contender for national selection with some stirring performances
when the occasion demanded - a rapid hundred which helped East Zone
clinch the Deodhar Trophy and an audacious 60 in the Duleep Trophy
final. But it was with his two centuries against Pakistan A, in the
triangular tournament in Kenya, that he established himself as a
clinical destroyer of bowling attacks. In just his fifth one-dayer,
against Pakistan at Vishakapatnam, he cracked a dazzling 148 and for
a while even put Sehwag in the shade |
