Captain Cool: The M.S.Dhoni Story

This biography follows Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian cricketer who became one of the country's most successful captains. It begins with his explosive one-day century in 2005, a moment that announced him to the wider cricket world, and then looks back at the years of domestic play that shaped him before his international debut. Written by a sportswriter, the book traces his rise from a small town to global fame, and the World Cup and Champions Trophy triumphs that followed, while showing a player who has stayed grounded despite his celebrity.
