Reliving Dhoni's untold story on the milestone day

Bengaluru, August 31: It is almost a year since the biopic 'MS Dhoni The Untold Story' was released and as the former Indian skipper made his 300th One-Day International appearance on Thursday, it would be the perfect time to watch it again.

The Neeraj Pandey-directed movie which sees Sushant Singh Rajput portray the lead role of Dhoni throws light on the journey of the boy from Ranchi who went on to make it big in Indian cricket.

The movie was a runaway hit and Twitter was in awe at that time.

It showcases his switch to a wicketkeeper from a goalkeeper at the instance of his school coach Keshav Banerjee, his travails as a ticket collector, shuttling between platforms at the Kharagpur Railway Station.

Banerjee's role in shaping Dhoni's career is well known and as the 36-year-old reached the 300 ODI milestone at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, his longevity continues to thrill.

But in a recent interview Banerjee was candid while admitting that his ward's timing has always been the best.

"As much as I know Dhoni, if he feels that it's time to hang his boots, he will retire without saying a word. I am a friend of Mahi since the childhood days, when nobody knew him. As far as I know him he will take his final call on retirement at the right time".

Watching the 190-minute entertainer is as thrilling as seeing some of his 'helicopter' sixes and no better day to relive those reels again than on the Ranchi man's milestone day.
