Ones For The Future

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, though still very much new to international cricket, should be an inspiration for budding cricketers from lesser known cricketing centres, like Jharkhand. Already we have had the likes of Debasish Mohanty and Shiv Sunder Das from Orissa. Mohammad Kaif, hailed by some as the future captain of Team India, is from Uttar Pradesh. Again, we have Railways winning the Ranji Trophy this time. So, cricket, though a fairly expensive sport to pursue seriously, is making its presence felt all over India, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, with his powerful hitting and agile wicket-keeping, can be the icon of new-generation cricketing powerhouses, if he is able to live upto his potentials.
