MS Dhoni Inspires South African Olympic Gold Medalist Caster Semenya

Quote

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not only a cricketer but an inspiration for many. While some have termed him as the best captain of the Indian cricket team, the country has produced till date; others have dubbed him as the best finisher of the game in limited overs. Not only cricketers, but celebrities across the globe admire his style and ability to deal with difficult situations under immense pressure. He has inspired many youngsters to take up not just cricket but sport in general. Dhoni's sporting philosophy -- with work ethic and pragmatism as its main elements -- has influenced people from not just India but around the world to choose sport as a career.

Caster Semenya, the South African athlete who won a couple of silver medals in 2011 and 2012 World Championships followed by the gold medal in 2016 Olympics for South Africa, is the latest addition to the list of Dhoni's admirers. The Olympic gold medalist took to Twitter to confess her respect for Dhoni after watching his biopic- M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story- released last year. She wrote," "MS Dhoni I have just watched your film... The inspiring story it is.. #MSDHONIUNTOLDSTORY... Salute.."

 

 

Mahi, as he is fondly called, has not been at his best during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) Season 10. The Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) wicketkeeper-batsman has scored 204 runs from 11 outings, with just one fifty. Dhoni's captaincy of the Pune franchise was handed to Steve Smith ahead of the tenth edition of the tournament by the team management.

 

Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the most successful players in the Indian Premier League. The wicketkeeper-batsman, as captain of the Chennai Super Kings, won the IPL and Champions League T20 on two occasions. Dhoni's ability to lead and finish close matches transformed CSK into the most dominant team in the IPL. After the two-year ban on CSK, Dhoni's services were secured by RPS.

You're not inspired?

[Gollum]

Wasn't she the one who failed sex determination test a few years back? Probably she got inspired seeing a person who once upon a time got caught in the middle of a huge fiasco himself only to emerge out as a so called icon for his countrymen and subsequently getting a movie made about him, totally skipping the grey areas. 

 

For her may I also suggest movies like Azhar, Raees, Wolf of Wall Street....

Haters are not liking this I see, meanwhile Dhoni ruling all over the world and still playing for Indian ODI team as the greatest wicket keeper batsman and ofcourse inspiring atheletes all over the world.

Meanwhile tuk tuk Rohit Sharma is trying hard to make it to 50 over wc squad for 2019, something which he hasn't won ever.  And Dhoni on other end, will walk into that squad even without match practice.

That got to hurt

Great leaders inspire greatness in others.

Well to be fair , It was a good movie.  And Dhoni coming from humble beginnings did achieve more than most of us would.  If he can inspire even a single person around the world - let alone an athlete ,  I'd say that's the ultimate compliment for anyone
