If Cricket is a Religion in India and Indian players are Demi Gods then Mahendra Singh Dhoni is easily the Godfather! From an explosive batsman sporting a stylish hairstyle to Captain Cool who achieved all possible laurels for his side, this champion has tirelessly worked on the team that we know as World Champions today! A thorough gentleman and inspiration to the cricketing world, here's why MSD will always remain a champion player!

1. He gave the Helicopter Shot to cricket.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni believes in letting the bat do the talking and boy, does his bat talk! The best example is his trademark Helicopter Shot with which he won us the 2011 World Cup final!

2. One of the best finishers cricket has ever seen.

Dhoni has got the ability to play at any slot in the batting line up. He knows just when to change gears, protect tail-enders from blazing yorkers and finally finishing the job for India, every single time.
