#ONTHISDAY 14 YEARS AGO, NEW CRICKET STAR WAS BORN! #VIDEOINSIDE

MSD, the name became a sensation. That match gave us the star that would become Captain Cool in the future and lead us to becoming the champions in the future.

After India opted to bat in the 2nd ODI against Pakistan in Vizag, Ganguly sent Dhoni at No. 3 as Tendulkar departed early. Dhoni has scored only 22 runs in 4 matches until then.

Dhoni saw the chance and took it. What followed was a fierce inning, where Dhoni smashed the balls swinging the bat sending the balls in all ways regarddless where the fielders were kept.

He scored a 148 in 123 balls. he hit 15 fours and 4 brutal sixes. His thunderous assault secured India its victory and Dhoni his name. 14 years ago, an era began. The era that gave us Captain Cool and the next glorious period of Indian cricket.
